Well, it is valid ... for better readability, you could untick the "Size optimization ..." check box in Tools/Options/Load+Save/General, and re-save the document. > Experimenting a > little by rearranging entities in the relation designer, saving, and > comparing against the settings.xml before this shows that the items > after the "layout-settings" node have not changed.

The fact that it doesn't change when you change the layout in the designer, and save the design/document, indicates that this is a problem with saving, not with reading. Two questions: Does it affect only this particular .odb file, or others, too? In particular, if you create an .odb file from scratch, does it happen there, too? If you remove the settings.xml from your .odb file, again using a ZIP tool of your choice - does the problem vanish then?
