Description

I created a custom CRS based on a state plane, and added a +k_0 parameter to make ground references in an image measure correctly.

I reprojected a layer of existing vectors into this new CRS in a temporary/memory layer. The features projected correctly onto the map.

However, when I used "Layer/Save As..." to save to a file, the saved layer "jumped" to a new location (tested with both geopackage and shapefiles, same behavior).
The CRS listed in the Source Tab for the layer properties is NOT my named custom projection, but a USER:100.... that does not include a +k_0 parameter.

When I select my custom projection to change the CRS, the feature jumps back to its proper location.

So apparently, when saving a layer to a file, not all of the PROJ4 parameters are being included in the CRS of the saved file. This may affect more parameters than just scaling, but I have not tested any others.
