Description Rafael Lima 2023-05-17 22:24:37 UTC
In LO 7.6 on-wards it is possible to toggle the following UI elements in the Basic IDE (which can be done via the View menu):
- Object Catalog
- Watched Expressions*
- Call Stack*

* The last 2 options were introduced in LO 7.6.

The problem:

Suppose I hide the call stack, edit some code and then close the Basic IDE. The next time I reopen the Basic IDE, the call stack will be visible.

The problem is that the Basic IDE does not remember which options are enabled/disabled and by default all of them are enabled.

I believe it would be better if the status of these commands were remembered the next time the IDE is opened.
