Old Lion Finder bug reappears in Mountain Lion -- lost options

Question

There were a number of problems with the Finder View options under Lion which were fixed bit-by-by, upgrade-by-upgrade.
In general, folder placement was scrambled and view options were lost/reset after certain operations.
Now, with Mountain Lion, some of these problems have resurfaced:
-- I use Show View Options to increase the size of icons and to set the background of a folder to a color
-- I use Mail to attach a file from this folder via the Attach window
When I return to the folder after sending my Mail message, icon size and background color have been reset to default.
In Lion, the Always Show in Icon View option was also reset.
So far this hasn't happened in Mountain Lion.
Anyone else haveing this problem?

I tried and don't see any issues. When you say the "Attach" window, what does that mean? Do you mean the "Share" contextual submenu or button (or does it translate to "attach" from another localization)?
If it is something other than Share submenu, then is that a third-party program that provides that function?
You might consider deleting the .DS_Store file from that folder. Various utilities can remove them, like OnyX, or you can use the Terminal.
