Bug Description

When creating or editing a page layout file I ran into the following problem:

The size of most text elements is defined using the "General Options" tab, but some items shall be smaller than the default. When the text height is modified using the "Item Properties" tab, the changes are applied and displayed correctly. However, after closing and re-opening the page layout file, the text size is set to the global properties. Examining the page layout file with a text editor shows that the changes are not written to the file.

This happens with existing page layout files or newly created ones.

<Update>
Using the default page template and modifying a single text size works (i.e. the change is saved to the file).

What's strange is that I took the default page layout and did a few modifications to it to get the file that is attached to this report.
</Update>

The version of Kicad/pl_editor is "4.0.1-3.201512221402+6198~38~ubuntu14.04.1-stable release build" on Kubuntu 14.04 with all available and applicable updates.

<Update>
All of the above also applies to the 32 Bit Windows version (KiCad/pl_editor version 4.0.1-stable release build) on a Windows 7 installation.
</Update>

Attached is the page layout file that I currently work on. The text elements that should be modified are the letters and numbers on the borders. These should be 1.5 mm instead of the default 2 mm as defined on the "Global Options" tab.
