Build 940 saved layout issue

#1 Post by DirkDiggler » 29.12.2025, 22:56

I have a number of saved layouts. After upgrading from build 921 (public) to build 940 (public), I have noticed a change in behavior. With this version (940), when I activate a saved layout the main FreeCommander window recedes into the background and is no longer the active/primary window on my desktop. Is this a known issue or has anybody else noticed this behavior? I have temporarily rolled back to v921 and it is once again working fine.

Marek,

Thanks for the quick response. It wasn't clear to me how to attach files to a response so I put the backup settings into an online locker. Let me know if there's a better way to do this.


To be clear, these settings are from the 921 Build that I rolled back to. If you would like me to reinstall 940 build and send backup settings I can do so.

After further testing, here are a couple of other observations:
* If I do a complete uninstall of Build 921 and fresh install of Build 940 without reloading my settings and then subsequently save new layouts, the new layouts behave properly; the problem with this approach is that I have a lot of custom settings that will take a long time to recreate
* If I do an install of Build 940 over an existing install of Build 921, reload my settings, delete existing layouts, and then create new layouts, the problematic layout behavior reappears

Try for each layout:
- open layout
- Layouts->Save current layout...
- in dialog "Save current layout" deactivate the option "Save color scheme"
- Save with OK
