Changes to Show/Hide Conditional Test not persisting

[max_drawdown]

(FM12.0.3 on Win7)

A change from showing conditional indicators to hiding them appears to persist.

The reverse -- from hiding conditional indicators to showing them -- does not persist.

(To demonstrate, I tried to attach an 827KB movie but the insert tool did not allow it.)

This is an irritating change from what I recall from FM11. I don't believe I can rely on FM12 with this behavior.  To get the same result, I have to do more work with FM12 than with FM11.

The behavior also challenges maintenance of a multi-file project. Consider this behavior (no recording attached):

1. In File1.fm, I set controls on Show/Hide Conditional Text and then Apply. Works as expected. I save File1.fm.
2. In File2.fm, I import formats from File1.fm, specifying only Conditional Text Settings, and then Import. Works as expected. I save File2.fm
3. Close both files.
4. Open both files.
5. Neither file retains the settings from Step 1 or Step 2.

Does 12.0.4 behave the same way?

I don’t know (don’t have FM12 yet), but until you’ve updated to the latest patch and tested this out, there’s no point in announcing a bug here. Update, reproduce the issue & submit it (with your test files) to the Adobe bugbase.

The change persists if the user saves the file with the save icon or with Ctrl+s and then closes the file "without saving"

While FM12 displays File > Close dialog it also hides the condition indicators. Selecting Yes to save means the file saves with (newly) hidden indicators. Selecting No means the file does not save (again), so the previous save operation with displayed indicators is preserved.
