Yes, I have just tried this on my test site ([41fb4a3ca0](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/41fb4a3ca032e57a41422a9a17b6d8feb43c3e50)), and it’s behaving in an unexpected way.

**Expected:** Unticking reply or create on the security settings (and saving) should update the security settings.

- Edit category → Security
- Untick ‘create’ for everyone (and save)
- Refresh page
- Reverted to previous ‘all options ticked’

Adding a second group also behaved unexpectedly

- Add another group (along with ‘everyone’)
- Untick create for ‘everyone’ (and save)
- Everyone group has been removed

I think this may be a bug.
