Kenny,
Just go to the prefs and click Update and then choose your serial port again. I do the same thing often. Flrig only lists the active ports as you. Flrig doesn't know if the serial port name has changed so IMO it wouldn't make sense to remember the last port and show it when it can't find it.

I use FLrig for all my apps (CQrlog, WSJTX, JS8Call, QSSTV, etc.) with multiple radios, each with its own Prefs file. However, how come sometimes when I get an error trying to connect to my Transceiver, due to an unplugged USB or something, the Prefs file for FLrig defaults back to NONE for XCVR_SERIAL_PORT and I have to put back in the "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Icom_Inc._IC-705... " ???
why can't the FLrig Prefs file stay unchanged if there is a error connecting to the radio??? why does it rewrite my XCVR_SERIAL_PORT setting??
it is frustrating to have to go into the Prefs file and retype the serial port in each time, or navigate to the location in the app, when it was just an unplugged USB or something. At very least could this be a corrected in a future release??
otherwise, I love FLrig, it allows me to have multiple radios use the same apps without having to change the app settings (CAT control settings) each time I change radios.
