PLEASE Can Window Size be Saved??

@GraHal, I have reasons to believe that via-via someone might be looking into this all (and after all). For now I thus feel like continuing on your and my behalf and hopefully on the behalf of many others which remain quiet (traders may be of a special kind ?).
Because I really have more due than the couple of (off topic) posts so far, I think I’d have to start that new topic myself and copy-paste my posts from your topic to my own.
Why I don’t see a full commitment of PRC moderators I don’t know, but it is something I now explicitly complaint about as well, yesterday.
I know this is again a kind of off-topic posting, but I like it to be behind the scenes somewhat, while you (GraHal) know what is going on anyway. Point in this context is : my contact kind of refuses to believe that nothing happens with anything. “Then mods would have told PRT by now”. I again referred to my (our) list from a year ago, which by now should be an advantage because it is a sheer proof.I was asked to point to topics or posts in here (which are better than a cold list), so from now on at least I myself will take notes and/or preserve links to topics like this one.
I promised to not get myself a Bounty the upcoming fortnight yet.PS: I am not good at this, knowing that eventually the ones I talk to and try to persuade, will read this too. It’s the drawning man thing – they should understand by now.

And so, one for this topic :
The size of the Editor itself. It can’t be set and remembered for the next session.
People may attest that this is not a big deal, but when the code is somewhat larger, it becomes annoying from a couple of angles which may be too hard to explain. Most relates to how comments work out. But also, certain comments (or arguments to them) don’t allow wrapping. So they fall outside of the window and reading them back or edit them, becomes cumbersome.1 user thanked author for this post.
It seems hard to make anything of it. The least there is no consistency. Notice that I use two strategies on two instruments back and forth. Let’s say that 3 out of 4 the window size of the variables remains. And with that I have the checkbox “leave Editor window open” unticked.
It kind of feels like the variable’s window size is retained because the Editor (environment ?) itself is saved when closing it (that would be logic). But as said, it often does not work out.
There could be a relation with the variables window itself is save when the editor is closed. But for that it has to be open first ? Yea, I think that’s it. It now occurs that if the Editor is re-opened, the variables window is opened along with it.Otherwise, sorry to say that I can’t judge changes, because I always leave open the Editor. And then the variables window can be closed, and at opening it again (the wrench) it’s size is retained.
In the end this is the total mess of “saving” as such. There must be a special employee there, dedicated to saving. And he/she does not understand this well.
But to be complete : this does not count for all saved for Charts. This is perfect, if you’d ask me. But that is in control of the Chart’s Saver bloke. 🙂1 user thanked author for this post.
PS: I sure can see they are (I’d say) messing a bit with things. The Jan 31 update seems to incur for other small anomalies as well. (FWIW, because it tells nothing in the end – new versions emerge without update as well, and version nrs did not change anyway – the right hand one as at November IIRC, also with the same v number).
What I should add as a kind of counterweight to my own expressions about solving things, is that PRT is actually the best in creating bugs, and solving them right away when they notice. I’m not referring to the former, but the combination; when I notice an oddity (which may be harmful to others) I bring this across, and usually the same it is is solved again. This always comes along with the message “please restart the platform”. This summarised, PRT is very very careful with changes, and they seem to pro-actively watch out for making mistakes (with always the idea behind it that it is about $$ you could lose over platform anomalies).
