  • 1.  9.8.0.2 - LPEX editor preferences not being saved

    Posted Fri June 07, 2024 01:27 AM

    I've just installed fix pack 2 for 9.8 and all of my LPEX editor windows have reverted to the default white background.

    I have tried changing the preferences to my preferred black background, which applies to any open editors, but when I open a new source member it has the white background.

    I've tried changing the preferences and restarting but to no avail: it doesn't remember the preference.

    Is this a known bug in the latest version, or is there something amiss with my installation?

    Exact same issue here, fwiw.

    It "loses" its memory after setting the palette to black 

    I surmised it may be related to my not having admin rights, however that turned out to be false.

    I share the problem with my DevStyle 2024.1.0 add-in.  The "Darkest Dark" theme was the default; after 9.8.0.2, it's still there and working but the default has reverted to the Eclipse theme.

    Hi Paul,


    The LPEX team has opened an APAR for this:

    LPEX Editor Appearance Palette preference is not preserved in all cases

    Work around:
    If the General>Appearance Theme preference is 'Dark', the LPEX Editor Appearance Palette preference is set to 'black'.  Otherwise, it is set to 'eclipse'.

    We agree that the current behavior is a defect and the users setting should be honored. If they wished it to parrot the Theme, they should have added a Theme setting to honor the current set theme.
