Starting Map Setting turns back on after turning it off.

I have a world created in 1.16.2. I used to have the starting map setting on so players who join my world can navigate around more easy, I then hear of a bug that causes that when 1 Map is opened all map sizes (4) are created in the game file, this can cause lag and takes up much ram of the world.
I then turned starting maps in Version 1.17.2 off. Now in 1.18.12 I have the problem that the starting map setting is off and on. As seen by the pictures when I am in the World Select screen and I click on the world setting in the main menu, the Starting map setting is turned off. However when I am loaded into the world and I am playing in it, the setting is turned on. I don't know why this is happening but new players who join my world still get a starting map. I don't want players to start with a map because of the bug mentioned above.
The real issue however is that I can't turn the setting on or off. When I click on the setting nothing happens, both in the world setting while in the world and in the world setting when in the main menu. The setting is grayed off and I can't change it.
I don't have steps to reproduce this issue since I don't know how to reproduce it and how this bug occured.
