Description
Help viewer (called from Python console) is a different process/executable called from QGIS.
The settings are being read and write from a wrong path.
The path now is: (on Ubuntu)
/home/jgr/.local/share/qgis_help/profiles/default/QGIS/QGIS3.ini
The path should be:
/home/jgr/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/QGIS/QGIS3.ini
To reproduce this bug, just launch Python console, open the Help dialog, move it and close it. The QGIS3.ini file is created in the wrong folder.
A new PR is under way to fix this.
