Same problem here... It seems like not a permissions issue, tried both modes (single and multiuser environment), settings in both saving correctly, when I open settings, the 'real tabs' value is set, but it's not working till I click OK button...
For more fun, in my case it is not only about program restarts, it's about every opened file, scenario: 1. Open file in PSPad via right click context menu - real tabs not working Notes: - I forgot to try, to open file from program menu (if it makes difference) - PSPad installed, not portable version 2. Go to settings and just click OK without changing anything - real tabs working for previously opened file Notes: - tested on rev. 2700 and 2703 - real tabs was set in settings earlier, and are still checked there 3. Open another file without closing previous - real tabs not working in newly opened file, but what's funny, real tabs working in the previously opened file Temporarily reverted install to version 2.5.9 (2600) to be able to work normally :) -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,66181,66241> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
