I found a couple of points:

I changed the values for the Triangle and the Circle.

Regardless of whether the check mark "Use per-game configs" is set or not, the entry in the editor looks like this:

#Controller bindings

cross = cross
cross = circle
square = square
square = triangle

To my surprise, it works, but the record should look like this, shouldn't it?
Before the "=" sign there are buttons for which the values will change, and after the "=" sign there are the values themselves.

#Controller bindings

triangle = square
circle = cross
cross = cross
square = square

I confirm it. As for the check mark "Use per-game configs", although it is set, but for some reason it switches in GUI @kalaposfos13 .

Yes, you have to click "save" after you open the window every time, even if there is no operation, otherwise the √ will disappear, which should be the reason.
