 * if one:
    – loads a user’s capabilities – sets the capabilities – reload the capabilities
   the role loads with the default capabilities, even if they are correctly set
 * Note: when one save the new capability scheme for a given role, the page reloads
   with the new scheme (with red and green labels), but when one enters later in
   the plugin admin page and load the scheme for a given role, the default capabilities
   are loaded
 * I have WPMU 3.4.2 via subdomains, and tried both via network activate and via
   single domain activation

 * I just tested this on WP 3.4.2 multisite with subdomains and don’t see a problem.
   You are scrolling down to click the Update button?
 * The role defs are stored separately for each site. Is that your issue?

 * I don’t see an Update button. I see a “Save Changes”. My steps are:
    – select
   role in “Select Role to View / Edit”; – press “Load”; – deselect some capability;–
   press “Save Changes” on the bottom it save and reloads the page with the correct
   capabilities checked.
 * This saves the capabilities, and they work correctly. Now, if I, later:
    – select
   same role as above in “Select Role to View / Edit”; – press “Load” it loads the
   default capabilities and not the ones I have just saved via “Save Changes”.
 * Hope this clarify. I have v1.4.8. Thanks!

 * One doubt: can you activate it through “Network Activate”, or do you have to 
   activate it separately for each site?

 * Activation can be network or site-specific. Role definitions are site-specific
   regardless.
 * I’m still not able to create this error. What are the role and capability names
   involved? Do you have any other plugin or theme code related to role definitions
   which might be forcing them back to defaults?

 * What is the role of the logged user when attempting this role editing?

 * With
    – super admin, then – admin
 * I tried to change both:
    – administrator, and – subscriber capabilities
 * just to be sure.

 * What are the capability names that you tried to add or remove?
 * Can you temporarily disable other plugins and switch to default theme to be sure
   there are no conflicts?

 * If this is/was a translated site and you previously used Capability Manager Enhanced
   1.4.3 or earlier, it’s possible that the stored capability array is corrupted.
   If so, try Tools > Capability Manager > Reset Roles and Capabilities to WordPress
   defaults. This will only affect one site.
