Description James Blackburn CLA 2008-09-29 11:36:33 EDT 
Build ID: 5.0.1

Steps To Reproduce:
It seems that the project properties dialog overwrites the existing project description replacing any configuration changes which have occurred since the dialog was opened.

Because of BUG200855 I have a CProjectDescriptionListener installed.  When this notices certain configuration options change, which require a change in the externally provided library and include paths, it creates a Job to update and persist the settings from our ExternalSettingsProvider.

On changing a setting and pressing apply, I can see my code getting called and the project configuration's externalSettings storageModule is updated on disk.  However when I press OK on the Project Properties dialog the changes made revert to their previous value!

This seems to make it _impossible_ to reliably update the configuration and have the changes persist based on options that the user has set.
