*Issue 1. Waterfall controls.* The controls below the MSK144
Waterfall disappear after a mode change. Upon returning to MSK144 from
any other mode, the waterfall controls have gone. I have edited
WSJT-X.ini to change all instances of 'HideControls=true' to false,
but the issue returns immediately. Often even starting up directly
after and edit and save, with the controls being hidden. This was
happening in r7688 in all modes but now only appears to be occurring
with MSK144 and ISCAT. Very occasionally the controls will reappear
after a mode change. I have had instances (rare) where at start-up
this does not occur _at all_ until the program is shut-down and
started again. Incidentally I do NOT have 'Hide menus and labels'
checked under 'View'.
There is a minor defect that is causing the hide menus and labels option
to set or reset when starting WSJT-X or changing modes. Aside from this
you can always reset the option for a specific window by giving keyboard
and mouse focus to the window and pressing CTRL+M. Hopefully we will
find the source of the instability before the next release of WSJT-X.
As an aside, if one was curious/foolish enough to check 'Hide menus
and labels', as I was, there doesn't appear to be any obvious way of
reversing the process other than editing the WSJT-X.ini file. Also
keyboard shortcuts no longer work.
See above.
*Issue 2. Sub-modes.* I am finding that a sub-mode change in one
mode is affecting the sub-mode in another mode. For example if I set
JT4 to 'F' or 'G' sub-mode and then change to JT65 say, I will be in
JT65C, regardless of where it was previously. If I then do nothing but
go back to JT4 it will be in JT4C. Similarly, QRA64 will be in 'C'
sub-mode. I could then change QRA64 to 'A' and all the other modes
will be moved to 'A'.
The sub-mode is not stored with the mode so when changing mode the
sub-mode will remain unchanged if the current sub-mode is valid in the
new mode. There have been some improvements made to sub-mode handling in
the latest development sources but as yet sub-mode is not recalled with
mode changes. Similar comments apply to the frequency tolerance and T/R
period controls.
*Issue 3. Auto Seq.* The Auto Sequence check box in MSK144 will
uncheck itself upon changing to any another mode and returning to MSK144.
Auto sequencing is also not recalled with mode. In this case I suspect
it is unlikely to change as auto-sequencing can cause automatic
transmissions in certain specific circumstances. Having transmit start
automatically just because the mode has changed would be considered a
misfeature by many users.
