The default choices given to me on the View/Global View Mode drop-down menu of the main window are: Generic View Mode No View Mode (with o underlined, which I cannot reproduce in my charset) I did as you suggested and created a New View Mode, named "No View Mode" without the o underlined. Choosing that, the parameters stick, and changes made in the drop-down menu View/Sort-by stick. But on the default choices "No [underlined o] View Mode" they do not stick. Therefore, I think it is a bug. I long since have a work-around. This was my problem in v. 2.11 , before I was ever a beta tester, which I reported on tbudl but no one confirmed. So I did not make a BT report. There is now a BT report, describing the problem and how to reproduce it, for those who wish to help by testing the steps described here: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3962 I believe it is a bug, because using the default menu choice "No [underlined o] View Mode," this behavior occurs for both myself (tested several times with different Sort-by choices, today, before making the BT report) and David Boggon: tbudl mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] subject line, "column settings that don't set" I shall greatly appreciate it if you do have the time to test for this bug, using the exact steps given in the BT report, and if you can confirm it, put a note to my report. While David B. and I have a work-around now, every new user of The Bat! is likely to run into this behavior and be very annoyed until he/she either figures it out by himself/herself or posts to tbudl about it. That is, if it is the bug that I truly believe at present, it is. Thanks again. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.1 [Professional Edition] on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
