Configure Fields box preferences keep getting reset

[Miles Monty]

Hello, 

I keep hitting the Create button and noticing that all of the fields have vanished, and I have to reselect them (per the image - 2 of the 10ish boxes are ticked). Are these box preferences saved on per-user or globally? If the latter, how can I find out in the admin log who's changing these? If the former, how can I find out how they keep getting reset? I should note that they definitely save my selection, as closing the create screen and reopening it retains my selection. 

I have also noticed that some fields are jumping around from section to section in the new view. How can I find out who's changing this? 

Thanks very much in advance!
