XChat will remember this setting, assuming that a clean shutdown is done. The issue is that the preferences aren't saved to disk right at that time, but either waits for the shutdown, or some other event which causes the save to occur. Even if it appears to be a clean shutdown to you (the steps went through), if something gets aborted along the way, it is possible for the save not to happen.
Hope that is clear enough, and also why you won't see this bug every time. Clean shutdowns mean this issue doesn't appear. -- xchat doesn't remember "minimize to tray" setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
