Miyako, Yes, the expression is correctly evaluated and displayed; if it wasn’t, I would have used a rather stronger word than “infelicity”! Thanks for the explanation of what’s happening (wrapping).

In all previous versions of 4D, however, all the design window states were preserved and re-opened when dropping back into design, as you would expect. It’s a new issue in v17R4, I think. Try it with whichever version you’re using and you’ll see what I mean.
