Comments.Text: Two more tests:
  1) I have made a fresh new installation of Joomla and CiviCRM on the same server and the issue is still the same.
  2) I have made a fresh new installation of Drupal and CiviCRM and the issue is not present.
  It looks like that the issue is related to CiviCRM on Joomla. Any ideas?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-03-04)
  
  I am experiencing a strange issue with my CiviCRM (4.7.3) installation on Joomla (3.4.8).
  
  If I change some of the settings in one of the administration pages, they are correctly updated on the database, but if I get back to that page I don't see the setting anymore.
  
  It seems like values for the settings pages are not retrieved correctly from the database.
  
  Any ideas?
