The only non-sensible one : that _un_checking 'stay in https' stays in
https nonetheless.

But actually it's not a bug : this checkbox creates a cookie that make
the browser auto-switch to https when they open http://savannah.gnu.org.
Unchecking the box does not set that cookie.

HTTPSEverywhere switches to https whatever you do and can mess-up
one's interpretation of this checkbox behavior.
