 Sometimes, I wish to access resources only available from IP addresses in
 a different country from the one where I'm located. So, if the resource is
 limited to IP addresses in Ptomania, I add

 Exitnodes {po}

 to my torrc using the Advanced Settings editor.

 After I finish, I'd like to remove the

 Exitnodes {po} line from my torrc, but the Advanced Settings editor does
 not allow this.

 Even though I unchecked the 'save settings' when I added the line

 Exitnodes {po}

 it remains after I stop and restart TBB both on a Macintosh Snow Leopard
 10.6.8 and on Windows 7.

 If I delete the line

 Exitnodes {po} and check 'save settings'

 the line remains in my torrc.

 I can find no way to get rid of the line.

 I posted this to tortalk, and was advised to file here.
