I almost hesitate to post this, as I have not isolated the precise trigger for this bug. I'm mentioning it now so we might collect data points from other users to see if the trigger can be found.
WSJT-X version: 2.6.1 OS Version: Windows 11 Description: The setting for "Contest name" occasionally resets to "PACC". This issue recurred several times during Field Day 2023. Most of the time I noticed it after changing the "Op Call" setting on the Reporting tab. After saving the new operator's call, I would notice that the Tx6 string had changed to "CQ PACC <callsign> <grid>". This did not happen frequently enough for me to determine the exact sequence to reproduce this issue 100%, just often enough to be annoying. To me, it seemed like when the configuration dialog values were being populated, the "Contest name" field was being set to a default value. If the user did not check the Advanced tab prior to saving, then this new value for Contest name was saved with the rest of the values. Where I'm having trouble is finding a reason the code would think that value needed to be set to the "PACC" default. I'm a developer with 45 years of experience. I haven't looked at the code yet, but I will see if I can narrow things down a bit over the next few days. Thanks for taking a look with me, as you will have much more familiarity with the code base and may be able to find the issue faster than I could. 73 -.. . / -- .- .-. -.- / -. --... -.-- -..
