Yes, you're correct. Perhaps it should, but I've yet to figure out how to 
resolve something else that'd become confusing if it did save the table 
settings.

The issue is that the tables can also be specified in brltty.conf. Saving the 
table settings in the preferences file would hide the brltty.conf table 
settings. Then users would be asking why their brltty.conf table settings 
weren't being honoured.

>What can be done?

Specify it in brltty.conf via the contraction-table directive.
