Arrrgh - problem has reoccurred. Exactly the same as before. Changed columns in my main ToDo view, worked with MLO for several days (starting and stopping), no problems - columns were retained. Then a few nights ago, stopped MLO, left machine on overnight backing up and when I started MLO in the morning, the columns had gone (only just noticed but checking back through my screen snapshots I can see the point at which the columns disappeared)
Note: there had been no attempt to change the columns on this view for several days prior to them being lost so it wasn't unsaved changes being lost that caused the problem. The changes were definitely saved. Have just created the columns, saved the file, closed MLO and reopened - and columns are there. So it is clearly saving the columns to the file. Lets see whether they go again. Observation: when I restarted MLO I thought I saw the view first appear without the additional columns and the screen refreshed and the view appeared with the additional columns. Could the problem be some sort of timing/race condition at start up - if there is a separate block of code which applies the the customised column settings as a subsequent step - perhaps this it is this process that is faiing or being overwritten Yes - just retried and I am definitely seeing this - the colum headings appear (without the data) without the custom settings and then the application refreshes and the view appears with the custom settings. Note: I have quite a slow machine so if this is some sort of timing problem, then this might explain why only a few people are seeing it. This would explain why the problem never occurs when I stop and immediately restart MLO - the data file is probably cached somewhere and so loads more quickly.
