I have found the following issue which may be related to the column settings problem: If you change your columns while your current view is modified (it has * in its name: "* Active Actions") the settings of the columns are not saved unless you click Save settings... I have fixed it and the column settings are now separated form filter settings for view. You do not need to click Save settings... to store your columns. Just save your file.
My guess is that it was the reason of confusion. So let's see if you have the issue after the fix. Please note that: 1) Column settings are stored in you data file inside views (not to registry). 2) Since column settings are stored in data file you can move your data file on USB to other computers and your columns (and other view settings) should be preserved 3) Since views cannot be synced to other file (you can only import/ export them) your column settings are not preserved when you sync your MLO data file to other data file. If you see the issue in new beta (will be released soon) then let me know the following: 1) Did it reset columns of some views to default or just not stored your latest column settings? 2) Do you see problems with columns in To-Do or Outline? Both? 3) Do you see that filter settings changed (reset) also or it only applies to columns? Andrey.
