All fields with numbers aren't saved yet. See line 140 - TODO of /gui/options/options.js.

Replying to scythetwirler:

All fields with numbers aren't saved yet. See line 140 - TODO of /gui/options/options.js.

That's not what that specific TODO is referring to, it more mentions a GUI engine slider element would be nice.

To save anything which uses a text field, you have to press enter after entering the new value. (counter-intuitive and non-ideal design)

Actually, the whole save settings bit is rather non-obvious. Clicking save does not actually apply the settings and cancel does not actually revert the settings. Clicking save just saves the settings to disk while cancel does nothing. All settings (unless noted otherwise) apply immediately.

Fixing this (unfortunately) will be non-trivial.
