Georeferencing changes are only saved after closing and reopening project

[MJF]

Hi,

I georeferenced multiple images lately and I've encountered a bug-like behaviour every time.

When I add control points it adjusts the map accordingly, but as soon as I save and then close the georeferencing tool, the adjustments from the control points are undone. When I open the tool again, the image is correctly georeferenced again.

When I close and reopen the project, the image is correctly georeferenced and stays like that, which is my (slightly annoying) workaround so far.

Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?

I saw that post, but my control points are not actually lost, it just seems that they are only "applied" as long as the georeference tool is open or after I close and reopen my project.

A slightly quicker workaround I just found out is to set the source of the layer again to the image file. This also applies the changes from georeferencing.
