[Solved] [Bug] "Auto add .torrents from" always unchecks itself

Regarding the option Edit > Preferences > Downloads > Folders > "Auto add .torrents from"
Whenever I start Deluge, for example after starting my computer in the morning, this option is always unchecked. It doesn't matter how often I check the option and press "Apply" then "OK"; once I close Deluge and restart it, the option is always unchecked.
The option does, however, remember which folder I specified.
I have double-checked that the folder actually exists and that I have full read-write access to it (it's just a standard folder). I tried specifying a different folder, and while the new folder was correctly remembered, the option still unchecked itself on restarting Deluge.
All other options are correctly remembered.
I am using Deluge 1.3.14 on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit).

Same thing here. Deluge 1.3.14-0~xenial~ppa1 on Linux Mint 18.1 and deluged 1.3.14-0~precise~ppa1 on OMV 2.2.14 (Debian wheezy based).

I didn't know where to find the logs, so I ran:
deluge-gtk -L debug -l ~/deluge.log
From
deluge.log, I noted that the config entry for my auto-add folder refers to three different folders. The first two are noted as
u'enabled': False — as they should be, given that they no longer exist. (Should they still be listed?) The third, which is
u'enabled': True, is the one that I want to use.
Here is something interesting. I went into the Preferences dialogue and checked the auto-add option, and pressed Apply. The instant that I pressed Apply, the console displayed a set of error messages, three times (each time was identical). I found that this happens even when I make no changes at all to the Preferences. Here is the set of error messages:

Further note:
I manually changed ~/.config/deluge/autoadd.conf (while Deluge was not running) to remove all but the wanted folder (ensuring that it was numbered "1"), but the problem, including the error messages, persists.

I looked into this further here and this is what I found.
If this setting ("Auto add .torrents from") is enabled AND the AutoAdd Plugin is also enabled with one or more watched folders defined and enabled, then the reported behavior is seen, ie the checkmark applied to "Auto add .torrents from" does not survive a Deluge restart.
If I disable the AutoAdd plugin, then "Auto add .torrents from" behaves properly and the checkmark setting is retained across Deluge restarts.
Since I want to have multiple folders watched to automatically add torrents from, I leave the AutoAdd plugin enabled and leave "Auto add .torrents from" disabled.
Hope this helps.

@gderf, this is most helpful, thank you!
It seems that the AutoAdd plugin disables the built-in function. This makes complete sense, as they would otherwise interfere with each other.
I had thought that the AutoAdd plugin was required to watch a folder; I didn't realise that it replaced the built-in function. But your explanation clarified things for me. It completely explains what was happening.
I only want a single folder watched, so I have disabled the AutoAdd plugin and I am now using the built-in function. It works now, thank you.
I have made a note of this for future.

Glad it's all sorted out for you.
