Figured it out! The profiles getting deleted bug.  Able to reproduce it
everytime.  This is what happens, you know how in ubuntu the profile
folders are listed in alphabetical order? And the only folders in there
are ones that users have created. What happens is the first profile
folder gets deleted when the mudlet user creates a new mud profile.

For example, in my mudlet profile, lets say I have a Darkover mud
profile folder and a Starnova mud profile. Now if I go create a random
mud profile by entering IP and Port and Connect, the new profile folder
is created but additionally the Darkover folder has been deleted because
it is the first folder in the profile directory.

It only does it when creating the new profile the first time though (in
my tests anyway.) So for example, if I keep the new mud's tab open, go
in and copy/past a backup Darkover mud profile back in the directory and
Delete the new mud's profile folder, then under Aliases hit Save To
Disk, it will create the new mud's folder (again) but NOT delete the
replaced Darkover folder like it did originally.

Anyway, that's the delete bug. I don't know if that'll fix the IP and
Port fields getting deleted sometimes. Hopefully!

Title:
  Deleting mud ALSO deleted another mud's profile

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using the latest ubuntu 12.10. Mudlet 2.1.

  I've been using mudlet for a good while and not seen this bug. Last
  night I was trying new muds and I deleted from mudlet one that I added
  but didn't like--you know, where you have to type in the mud's name to
  confirm the delete.  Well, I went on to play another mud at the same
  time opening a connection to my regular mud (God Wars II), and then
  soon quit Mudlet, ansering "Yes, I wish to save the profile" for the
  new mud and if it then when asked for God Wars, I _think_ I said yes.
  But answering No there shouldn't have been bad since I only connected
  to see who was on and made no oher changes.  But, I'm not actually
  posistive if I connected to God Wars before or after deleting that
  other mud.  Sorry.

  Anyway, upon later restarting Mudlet, God Wars II (my profile for it)
  was GONE. I clicked on the general profile for God Wars II and it did
  the whole download of new graphics pluggin and start with default
  settings. I went into the mudlet folder and only found the generic God
  Wars II profile there. My original profile for it was gone.

  So I lost all my triggers and aliases and settings for my original God
  Wars II profile.  I can only asume that when I deleted that other mud
  I didn't like, Mudlet also deleted my God Wars profile as well.
