If you have comment controls enabled, these options are stored in $_SESSION (for guests) or in the users table (registered users).

When user selected options exist, global settings are never used. So, if you disable comment controls, there is no way for a user to use the globally defined options.

The attached patch takes user selected options only when the comment controls option is enabled.

There is also this issue pending: http://drupal.org/node/58953 Comment Module - Flat Collapsed mode and Newest First order broken.

It would be fine if you could shift over. Probably both issues could be fixed in one ride :)

Why not?

I have added a cross-reference to this patch in that issue:
