User config settings get trumped by Application.exe.config settings file

Question

Hi all

I have an application 'App.exe' which has an 'App.exe.config' file alongside with it. If I make a change to the user.config file that gets copied to my Local Settings folder, that change gets trumped with the values on App.exe.config at runtime.

My previous understanding is that the user.config file would have the latest value saved when doing Settings.Default.Save in code.

What am I missing?
