[CantReproduce] Position/Size reset on restart (CN Beta M9 Preview 2)

While trying the sidebar trick found here, I seem to have found a bug:

If position/size information is not already present in CN 'cintanotes.settings' file it doesn't get recreated by this version. Can anybody confirm this? Or is my system playing up? I even tried deleting the file to have a new one generated...

Haven't tested your setup, but I _think_ CintaNotes lost any changes I made while it was running. Nod.

Could not reproduce your problem. As above, I only made changes while CintaNotes was not running. I noted that CitaNotes, on close, alpha sorted the entries, which moved my "app.mainframe.tagsidebar.width = 125". Nod

Midas, can't reproduce the problem. Do you mean the position of the main window?

Yeah! It was really weird, nothing I did could make the position (and note appearance, too) stick between CN sessions... :o

I finally solved it by copying an old 'cintanotes.settings' file, from a version B6 archive. All back to normal, but I am very wary of fiddling with the settings file now. :oops:

My guess is it has something to do with the encoding (ansi vs. unicode), although I tried different unicode aware editors.
