'Automatic Mode' in Jointed Rail Smart Signal library v1.75a

I have recently installed the new JR Smart Signal Library 1.75a (on Trainz 2012 SP1). Read the manual and everything works great except for if I check off the "Operate in automatic mode when idle" in surveyor, I save changes and next time I click the same signal after re-opening the route in surveyor it is no longer checked off. This causes the intermediate signal on the adjacent track to not read ahead to the next interlocking in surveyor or driver. This is on both the Searchlights and Safetrans (particularly 05 and intermediate 06 signals) on any route.

Is this a known bug or is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance. The signal library seems great otherwise!

It does seem to be a bug, as I have the same problem with it unticking on the automatic and restricting boxes after saving. I will report it on my bug report.

John, this is what JR's overview manual states about "automatic mode":
By default signals function as if they are remote controlled CTC or they do not attempt to read the block ahead unless a train is approaching them. This option sets the signal to automatic; always reading the state of the block ahead whether a train is approaching it or not. This is useful for ABS or any other situation where automatic signals are required. (now, since we are experiencing some problems getting the setting box to remain ticked after saving signal properties, this might not work as intended. As stated in another post, I'll send a bug report about it to N3V)
