Global options how to handle with existing files aren't getting applied – second option under "Transfers" overwrites it

[Oliver Gehrmann]

I'm using FileZilla on MacOS and the other day, when migrating an entire server, my queue was constantly running empty and therefore, the program continued to ask me how to handle existing files.
I selected "overwrite all" (something I usually never do) and did not check the checkbox to only apply this behavior for the current queue (as the queue constantly "finished" and then a "new queue" started despite it being the same operation; it was just getting too annoying having to select the same option 20 times in one minute).

Lo and behold, this worked and I could complete my migration.
The next day, I wanted to change the default behavior of FileZilla again, went to the options in MacOS (CMD + ,) and changed it back to "always ask".
This change in the options did NOT get applied and FileZilla kept overwriting everything without prompting me first.

I later learned that in the menu under "Transfers" (sorry, using the German translation, it's "Übertragungen" in German), there is another option where you can select how to proceed with existing files. Applying the change there led to the expected result, but it appears that the option inside the options dialogue (CMD + ,) is not getting applied.
