Config not loading in new qBit?

I've just updated from qBit 4.6.2 to 5.0.0 (although this also happens on 5.0.1). When I open options, nothing is filled in and everything is default. I've checked that the settings are still in qBittorrent.conf, and they seem to be being respected, but I can't see or edit them through the webUI any more. Does anyone have any ideas here? This was working for earlier versions when I upgraded

(And just to check, I rolled back to 4.6.7 from 5.0.0 and the config shows up as expected)

When I switched from 4.x via Ubuntu PPA to 5.x via Docker, I noticed a slight change in the config path. IIRC, when I was running 4.x, the config was found in ~qbtuser/.config/qBittorrent/, but when I switched to the 5.x Docker version, it appeared one level deeper in ~/.config/qBittorrent/config/ (FWIW, I have QBT_CONFIG_PATH set to /home/<my uid 1000 user>/.config). This confused the heck out of me since my edits to ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf weren't doing anything. The real qBittorrent.conf was one level deeper in another config directory.
You might inspect your config directory and see if there is another config directory hiding within.
