The 'save as' may be used for out-of-tree kernel config saves, but the default 'save' should always save to the in-tree .config file, as before (and for the past 10+ years..) If the kernel config was loaded from an out-of-tree location, it now saves back to that out-of-tree location, which is useless for the kernel compile..
I have always kept my hardware/system-specific kernel configs out-of-tree, and then applied them in-tree before compiling.
Now, I have to use 'save as' and type in the entire in-tree path (/usr/src/linux-5.1/.config) each time, in order to apply the specific config to the kernel, ready for compilation.
