I think this is happening because of a minor mismatch between the previous layout system - the one that required outlines to be reload to change the layout - and the new one that I wrote. The old ones are applied when the outline is being loaded. The layout can be changed (and the outline reploaded) just as in 6.8.1. The new ones can be applied by the layout-* commands at any time.There are two things in play:
1. I overlooked the initial-split-orientation setting, and my layouts don't make use of it. They were created to look like the layout diagrams that Edward included in docstrings. I personally find the setting confusing because for many layouts I have no idea what the result would be. 2. Some of the 6.8.1 layouts are created with VR already them. It won't display until you show V with one of the commands like 'vr', 'vr-show', 'vr-toggle' but the splitter panel may show. That assignment is not conditional on VR/VR3 enablement. Now if you, say, toggle VR3 but the layout has no spot for it, it will be inserted into the main splitter next to whatever was there before. That way you can end up with both VR and VR3 and they will probably be next to each other. It's pretty obvious when VR3 displays the body, but it's not always obvious with VR. The panel you mention that did not have line numbering, that would be VR showing the body. The plan has been to move away from the 6.8.1 system to the new one as we gain experience and see if it needs any changes. This initial-split-direction business is one we will need to work out how to handle, or if it should be retired altogether.
