Comment (by wetapplemedia):

 My problem with the way this works now in WP by default (which I can no
 longer override) is that it makes my site more difficult to add images to
 posts. We always do a right-hand image first, then alternate left, right,
 left, etc, down the content body.

 When the default settings change to match whatever was last input, it
 means that for us the default setting is ''NEVER'' in the correct
 position. We have to change it manually every time we place an image.

 My code that worked for 3 years in the functions.php file no longer helps,
 and the snippet of code introduced to me in #comment:20 doesn't work at
 all in my theme for some unknown reason.
