Steps to reproduce:

1. Assign the screen curtain command to a gesture.
2. Turn on screen curtain while in the default profile. It doesn't matter if its only temporarily or permanently on while NVDA is active.
3. Switch to an app which would cause a different profile to load, e.g one for programming.

Actual behavior:

The screen curtain is automatically disabled when switching to an application which uses a profile where screen curtain has not yet been enabled. Users also receive no alerts about this surprising and potentially dangerous behaviour. The only way to know is to visually see the screen.

Expected behavior:

The screen curtain should not automatically disable itself when switching profiles. I think this is a setting which makes much more sense to be global to avoid unwanted surprises. I'm also not sure what the use case is for having it automatically turn on only in certain applications, which the current implementation enables.
