Trivial fix - click on 0 ply evaluation, which takes no time, then do
your rollout - it will be with the current settings, not the ones from
the previous rollouts.

Re: discarding results on a change in rollout setting?

How would you distinguish between a change made just for this one move
and (for example) a change made when rolling out some other move or a
cube decision? What do you do with rollout results in an .sgf file
when you open that file?

I prefer the 'carry on where you left off', because it's so quick to
force the rollout to be forgotten by using 0 ply evaluation.
