I'm currently asking myself whether the substructure of Isabelle settings in the preferences menu is already carved in stone (although only some adventurous people seem to be using PG 4 by now).
In my naive view the distinction between "Display" and "Advanced display" is quite artifical, whereas things like "Auto solve" and "Auto nitpick" should be better placed in a separate menu "Hints". Or is there a rationale I am not aware of for the current categorization? It is well-known that autosolve sometimes struggles with unification, e.g. in Record.thy, lemma istuple_update_swap_fst_fst. I do not know either whether there have been any ideas around how this trap could be circumvented, but my own experience suggests we should definitely try.
