Print layout legend panel - feature count re-appears after saving & opening the project again

[meyerlor]

What is the bug or the crash?

In my print layouts, i do not want to show the feature count of the used layers. I select all of them and disable the feature count (in print-layout -> Legend-> Item properties). I save the project - closing QGIS and opening it (and the print layout) again makes the feature count re-appear again. This is painful, because with the feature count, the whole legend won't fit on the paper anymore. Disabling it on all my print layouts is a tedious manual process, which i'd like to avoid.

Addendum:
In the Layer Panel (not in the print layout) the feature count is enabled (and should stay this way)

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Print LAyout -> Legend -> Select Layers -> Disable Feature Count for Layers
2. Save Project/Print Layout, Close QGIS
3. Open QGIS/Project
4. In the Print Layout, the Layers show again the feature count

@meyerlor, thanks for reporting. I cannot replicate the reported behaviour using a simple project and layer.

Please provide a minimal project + layer with which the issue occur.

[meyerlor]

Here is a minimal project file:
Test_Print.zip

Note: in line 71 is (i think) the entry regarding the legend in the print layout. showFeatureCount is set to 1 - nothing in my QGIS can change that value. If i manipulate that value with a text editor and set it to 0, open the project in QGIS (and then the print layout), the feature count is still shown. Clicking on "save Project" sets the showFeatureCount setting again back to 1

Update: Setting the value to "false" with a text editor brings the desired result - now feature count shown in the legend when opening the project!

@meyerlor, the layer is missing. Anyway it seems to me there is no issue in the provided project.
When I open the project the layer's features count is shown in the legend according to the setting. If I unselect the layer's features count setting, then the layer's features count is not shown in the legend. If I save the project, close the project and reopen the project, then the layer's features count is not shown in the legend according to the setting.

Hm weird. I once more tried it with a fresh profile and the issue is no more (i already did before opening the ticket, but somehow the issue was not solved then). Sorry for the trouble!

@meyerlor, you are welcome.
