That's because setting all of the above to "no" is not correct. "Allow
Duplicate Jobs = no" turns the duplicate cancellation feature on. You
then need to choose one policy. They are all disabled by default
because the choice of which policy to apply should be yours, and because
the effect of having "Cancel Queued Duplicates" and "Cancel Running
Duplicates" both enabled at once (as would happen if the default was
"yes", unless you explicitly turned them off) should be fairly predictable.
This is just good sense in software design: options which can
potentially result in loss of data or work if enabled, should always
default to 'off'.
