I have got the same issue in 2012.
My problem is that i have to change the legen (make it smaller, delete some of the boxes) to fit in my title block and it's extremaly frustraiting t ohave to change it every time I reopen the drawing.
Is there a new solution to the problem?
Thanks,
Ania
The only solution I found to the problem is to replace the cells with blocks, after reopening the drawing legend keeps the blocks.
But the real solution would be nice 🙂

No, locked layer locks only text which doesn't change.
Symbols keep changing.

Yep Having the same problem here. I don't understand what the point of this process detailed below is if it doesnt hold the settings you type.
(Select Legend -> Properties)
(Change Legend Title) (turn off Map Base)
legend looks great right!
Until I close drawing and open again! It looks like below.
Surely there is a hidden setting at least to stop the legend updating? Pretty basic functionality to expect from a GIS program.

UPDATE!!!!
Just copy the legend in the layout.. and whoa the link is broken, no more updating legend.
You can always re link it to the viewport again though.
After you copy you see a little warning here to let you know it is broken
just click the button to re link it. Be careful though... you ahve to make all your changes again!
If you want to use the same legend on a few layouts in that drawing, turn it into a block and insert it across all the layouts.
WORKS GREAT!
