Forced Body Color Change Issue

Not sure if this is a bug or intended design, but if it's the latter, it's a really annoying "feature"...

Creating a 2-pin chip component (resistor), and I set the body to "white" (rather than the default beige).  If the color is the last thing I touch, clicking OK creates the component as expected... if I go in change a spec, say component height, clicking OK changes the body color back to the default Beige before creating the component (you can actually see it change the color if you're on the 3D Color tab when you click OK).  Really annoying when I'm creating multiple components that have a single parameter change... I have to go back and (re-)modify the color each time.

I am now wondering if any of the other parameters I entered were modified but not readily apparent on first glance.

Even with the simple scenario of someone creating a single component, then realizing they put in an incorrect dimension, all of the "local" preference changes they just made are thrown away.  

Seems like an unnecessary frustration factor for no obvious gain (and you already have "reset to default" buttons).

Enterprise is on the purchase list for both my company and the customer(s) I regularly support (since I'm typically on-site), but I'm using Pro to get a feel for how it reacts in common situations.

VERY glad to hear this behavior is considered "old tech".  Thank you.
