Ha! That's it. The combination of changed ui file and already stored settings is the culprit. Thanks! In GuiApplication::readUIFile() the settings for views gets removed if the ui file is newer than the saved timestamp in the settings. Later the non existing settings will be used to initialize the visibility. The default value for a non existing setting is 0. So, Vincents (pending) patch should catch that already. Stephan
