Expected Behavior

OBS launches, and the window set in the window capture source is not available.

Once the window becomes available, window capture will resume.

If, after launching OBS when the window is not available, launching it later when the window is available. The setting should 'stick', and window capture will resume as normal.

Current Behavior

If a window set in a window capture source is not available at the time of OBS launch, OBS will switch the capture source to the first window in the list, and capture of the desired window is not again possible until you go into the window capture source properties, and manually set the window back to the desired window.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Window Capture source
2. Set window source.
3. Quit application where the window is.
4. Open properties for the Window Capture source.

Anything else we should know?

OBS used to "remember" the window setting, it would appear in red, until the window reappeared and then reactivate. This is no longer the case and is quite annoying to toggle every single time i do a remote stream with clients.
