Using Moodle 1.8 + (2007021503)
I got a message from one of my instructors that the option to save lesson defaults doesn't seem to work since we upgraded to 1.8. He's been using this feature since we started in 1.5, but now every lesson he adds has the defaults reset to what you'd get in a new course.
Looking in mdl_lesson_default, it looks like these settings are being saved, but they aren't being loaded.
