Strava Live Segment goal settings randomly revert to Auto Select. Very frustrating, please provide a global setting!

I have figured out how to change the goal in my Strava Live Segments by going into each segment and manually selecting "PR" as my goal.

I am not, and never will be interested in beating the person I follow who is in front of me, and even worse, I don't care about my most "Recent Best".

There are one or two that I am targeting the KOM, 

Yesterday, on several segments that I had previously set my goal a "PR", the screen came up with either a persons name or "Recent Best".

There should be a default setting which allows the user to choose which goal should come up. Them, the user could go into an individual segment to change the goal if he/she wants to.

And this setting should stick, not randomly change to another goal.

Why does the 530 randomly change the goal, even after I set it?

Also, to stop a current segment (sometimes I like to do this if there is a second segment that starts after the one that I am on) requires six button pushes. On my 820 I only had to push two.

Garmin, please fix these annoying issues!

Otherwise, the 530 is great!

    It sounds like the Edge is configured to use segment auto-selection. 

    Check the setting.

    Training -> Strava Live Segments -> Segment Options -> Auto Select Effort (Switch this off)

    It is not, it's set to off. This only changes on some segments not others.

    And the "stop current segment" needs to be easier.

    Thanks

    If it only some segment then those few segments might have gotten toggled to use that option some how.

    Could you post the Garmin\Segment_List\Segment_List.fit file?

    I will once I can get to my 530.

    But there should be a way to set whatever goal a user wants as a default to all of their segments. There should also be a one-step process to stop a segment during a ride.

    Currently the only global setting is the auto-select configuration. You do have individual control on each segment.

    I agree it would be good to have an option to set your PR as globally as your target.

    So difficult is to implement an option to compete in strava against the best time of myself. Always, always against my best time. Please, Garmin, do something simple and quick.

    Also, I don't want the "PR, KOM, Recent Best, etc. finished" banner to flash across the screen. This obscures the data fields that are on the bottom.

    +1. In all user interfaces less intrusive flags and banners are well accepted......

    Update to this irritating problem:

    I manually set every segment to my desired goal (either PR or KOM) two days ago. Auto Select is off.

    On today's ride, 2/3 of the "Live Segments" had a different goal, most had "Recent Best".

    This never happened with my 820, and it doesn't happen with my FR935.

    I can't understand why this is even an issue. There should be a global setting for a default goal, and then the option to change individual goals.

    The "Recent Best" may be the most annoying. I do a ride once a week with five hill segments. I usually target one or two each week, so my "Recent Best" may be a time when I was taking it easy. Then, when I decide to go for one, instead of my PR (which I chose), my Recent Best comes up, which is irrelevant and doesn't provide me with a real goal.

    I have the updated firmware and have manually selected PR on all of my segments.

    Why can't this be fixed?

    I'm seeing the exact same problem on my 830
