Very annoying that the project browser collapses the tree when ever you save the project. Would be very nice if this did not happen. Can this be fixed? Thanks! ---

It doesn’t happen for me. What version of Ignition? OS? Java? In what context does this occur? I am using Ignition 7.7.2-rc1, Windows, Java 1.8.0\_25. ---

7.7.1 with Java 1.8.0\_25(32bit) Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit I have the Designer open. I have a Window or multiple open in the designer. I click the Save Project Button and the Project Tree Collapses and looks as if i just opened the Designer. But the Windows i’m editing stay open. ---

I haven’t seen that behavior and I can’t replicate it. ☹ Your best bet is to contact tech support. ---

So I tried this yesterday: 1: Deleting all temp Java files 2: Uninstalling Java 3: CCleaner to clean Registry 4: Reboot 5: Install clean Java 1.8.25 6: Run Designer. This worked for a couple hours then the problem came back. ---

In 2019, using version 7.9.9 this is still an issue. Am I missing something? This behavior is very annoying. I have to re-expand the Project Browser tree almost every time I save. It looks like this has been going on since 2010. Also, If i change the window size when editing a script, then work on something else then come back to the script, the window size is back to small. is there a setting for this? ---

Anyone? This is still super aggravating and I have not found a way to fix. ---

Just an FYI. This is happening to me. So, still an issue in 2023. ---

Do you have the Sepasoft modules installed? That was the cause for me. And it didn't look like that bug would get fixed anytime soon, the last time I asked. ---
