If you remove settings from config files they will be restored.
Once again, don't edit config files manually. Use /set command or /iset script!

All config files will be saved on exit, execpt layouts!

No. Don't mess with config files. This is a user bug!

Config files will be re-created on startup, if they are missing.

No, they won't be overwritten if you set option to "off". But you have
to set this option inside weechat. If you manually edit config file the
option will be overwritten and never take effect.
Don't delete any line from weechat.conf (or any other config file!)
or add something to it.
You can disable option "save_config_on_exit" and manually /save config file if
you want.
Once again: use /set command or /iset script to change configuration.
Its not a weechat bug, its a user bug!
