Are you sure you pressed "ok"?
you know...that might be the problem
im not seeing an OK button where is it?
and the thing is when i open the tech settings after i edit them they are still what i changed them to but when i close the editor and then reopen the editor it is reset back to researched by default!!!!!@!!!!!!!!
SCMDraft 1 or 2?
With two, you should change it then move to another area of the same box, you know like Upgrades and then look at strings, then close and reopen and it should have saved. I sometimes have same problem, best hope is to only use it at the end, because it sometimes does the thing that happens when you set things to zero in X-Tra Editor, don't ask why.
My opinion, is to just use xtra for this. SCMdraft is still beta, so this may be a bug. SI's been having a break lately so we haven't seen him or new versions.
He has been hacking SME a lot though

whoops did i say that?
