When attempting to save the system configuration, I get a stack overflow as noted below.

I attempted to remove all plugins I was not using to try to see if the issue was related to a plugin, but was unsuccessful. Plugin list is at the bottom.

Reverting back to 2.7.4 resolves the issue, which makes me believe this to be a Jenkins core issue.
