I might have suffered from a similar issue. Connecting over Tor.
`monero-gui-v0.14.1.0` on Qubes-Whonix 15 (Debian `buster` based).
Therefore I wanted to use a monero remote node which is reachable over `.onion` that I used successfully with monero CLI beforehand.
I clicked on "network status" and entered the `.onion` and port that I know that is functional. Then clicked on connect. I would have expected that this `.onion` will be tried to connect to. And if it fails, my problem. What however happened was unexpected: monero GUI tried another (from my perspective) random IP address (which is probably from a built-in list of monero remote nodes).
Then I shutdown monero GUI. Went to the configuration file `~/.config/monero-project/monero-core.conf` and set `remoteNodeAddress=` manually. (`remoteNodeAddress=theonionaddress.onion`) This setting wasn't honored either. Monero GUI proceeded with automatic remote node selection.
