You're right, these used to use SavedVars but they got moved to server settings. Only the position uses SavedVars now. In that case the setting should be the same across characters. If one turns it on, all turn it on.
In the first post, did you turn it OFF on character A, switch to B and it was ON? Or did you turn it OFF on A, switch to B and turn it ON, then switch back to A and it was still ON?
