Any change to the 'Script Execution Order' is immediately reverted

I have the weirdest bug. If I edit anything in the 'Script Execution Order' list in Project Settings, and click 'Apply', it just reverts back to how it was before immediately. This includes any type of change: removal of entries, adding entries, or changing the number of the entry. Everything just plops right back to the previous state on clicking Apply - no error messages whatsoever.

Visually, it's exactly the same result as clicking the 'Revert' button instead of 'Apply' - except that the editor actually starts doing its refresh thing afterwards (I thought for a moment maybe the Apply button was broken, but this kinda rules that out).

After hours of trying stuff I figured out that it works if I remove the 'Unity UI' package, so I guess the problem may have to do something with that. However, another project that includes this package does not have the same problem.. so it's still project-related, somehow. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all packages 10 times, no luck..

I had submitted this as a bug to Unity support, who have just responded.

After some investigation, I've concluded that this is currently by design. You're trying to make changes to scripts from Packages, currently, you can't do that. If you would add your own script and try to change the execution order, you'd notice that everything works correctly. (Matas, Customer QA Team)

He is correct, and indeed, changing/adding entries from your own code DOES work. In hindsight, this makes sense, even if it's a bit rigid. Problem 'solved', as in, I can live with packages' entries being readonly.
