I didn't tag this as a bug or send a ticket as I think this is a deliberate feature.

After somewhere between 2.0.5 and 2.0.7, the respawn selection sometimes reset itself (i.e. you chose to respawn at an airfield, but it resets itself to the default respawn point)

This usually happens when a capture happened (not necessarily related to respawn points), but it could also happen just at a random timing.

And this is very, very annoying.

I have been forced to fly from the far side of the map 3 times just this morning, with some of them resetting the spawn point selection right before I clicked "battle", and I didn't even have a chance to select it back.

Please, WG, remove this function.

There's a mod made for this on RU forum

Did not check it though.

I've had it happen also and your right....very annoying.

Confirmed. 

Have to get used to double checking spawn point before pressing battle ...

This is a bug.  Have heard nothing about it from WG.

 

And yes, it is beyond annoying.  It can swing a close game.

It's a bug, it's been reported by multiple people, including me, and yes it can frequently have a dramatic effect on games. It isn't uncommon either, usually happens to me maybe once an hour at least when playing, and when I'm in team speak it's something I hear people cursing quite often. To be honest though, it's less annoying than the bugs I've been getting recently that prevent you spawning in at all. Every couple of days I've found I'll end up in a battle where it won't let me spawn no matter how many times I hit the battle button.

Sorry if I insult you with this but it is quite helpful to launch with clear cache for a lot of these intermittent problems.  Again, I don't mean to offend.

[GonerNL]

I ALWAYS start with 'clear cache' (second nature by now) and I see this bug too.

Support gives this 'solution' for about every problem, but it doesn't solve all bugs ...
