I don't know about that but it takes a substantial amount of time to wait for GnuCash to (possibly) save the data file, save the .gcm file, shut down and then re-open the data file with all the register windows that were not closed and all the reports that were not closed, vs (possibly) save the data file, save the .gcm file and then refresh the program window. In the bug report the point is made by a developer that the program flow is different when the data is not in an .xml format, but a user doesn't care about that detail. If there was another symbol similar to the asterisk next to the data file name that indicates unsaved file data to indicate unsaved .GCM details, the user would be aware that some display formatting details are not saved. I think that would address your original concern.
