Not sure if this has been reported yet, but the OSX client seems to forget about plugins that are selected via the search function.. if chosen manually there isn't a problem.. one other request would be to show the number of plugins that are selected (re: plugin selection tab) and to be able to search for multiple plugins at once.. ~cam.
