I've only seen this glitch (?) since the 3.4.1 update. This has nothing to do with score editing itself and can be reproduced whether there is a score open or not, so no attachments should be necessary. Steps:
1) Open any score (optional)
2) Load soundfonts into the synthesizer (example: M.S. General HQ, GeneralUserGS)
3) Close the synth; the soundfonts will play normally
4) Close MuseScore and reopen any score
5) Open the synthesizer. The soundfonts must be reloaded.
I'm not sure of this is a glitch or by design, but I didn't have to reload my soundfonts before the latest update.

Although I cannot test right now, it's true that I have been experiencing problems with the synthesiser for a long time, so I guess I want to subscribe to this ;-)

But it stays if you click 'Keep as default', so I guess this is by design. Esp. as 3.2.3 and 2.3.2 both behave the same

But wouldn't "Save as Default" just save the current soundfint as Default instead of MuseScore General? Why would that keep all of the soundfonts in place? I'm away from my computer right now so I can't test it. Plus, what's the point of designing it to happen this way, esp. since it didn't happen that way before 3.4.1?
