Proxy settings get reverted

[mroi]

What Happened?

My target proxy setting is the following (given as a Dconf dump):

[system/proxy]
mode='manual'

[system/proxy/socks]
host='localhost'
port=9050

I can enter this configuration in switchboard and if I then check the Dconf content, it will have these settings stored. But whenever I re-enter the network module of switchboard, the settings get reverted to:

[system/proxy]
mode='auto'

[system/proxy/socks]
host='localhost'
port=9050

The manual setting for mode does not stick. Switchboard keeps changing this back to auto.

Steps to Reproduce

1. open switchboard, navigate to the network module, navigate to proxy settings
2. choose manual proxy mode, enter details for SOCKS: localhost, port 9050
3. quit switchboard
4. re-enter switchboard, navigate again to the proxy settings

Expected Behavior

The proxy settings should keep the configuration I entered earlier.
