Thanks for your report @ftlpilot. I am not able to reproduce the issue, and have not seen reports from other users of what sounds like a very impactful bug.

I'm not sure I understood the problem due to the lack of details in your report. Please add a comment here to provide more details, including:

• Which specific board or boards are you using when this occurs? If you are using a 3rd party derivative or clone board, and the board has a dedicated USB to serial bridge chip, tell us which specific chip it is (e.g., Microchip ATmega16U2, WCH CH340, Silicon Labs CP2102).
• What exactly do you mean by "loses board type".
  • Are you referring to the identification the board selector menu on the IDE toolbar?:
    
  • Or are you referring to the selection in the Tools > Board menu?:
    
  • Or are you referring to something else?
