Problem with tier ordering when unhiding tiers: a bug?

Posted by Matija at 2009-03-12 12:43  

hello,
I defined a sequence of independent tiers that i would like to keep ordered at all time
(tier1, tier2, etc..., tier9). This tier order is kept under TierOrder in .pfsx file.
However the following manipulation is problematic:
1) hide tier 4 and tier 1 then Close the file
2) reopen file, unhide 4, unhide 1: the unhidden tiers appear at the end of the other tiers, so I see the order tier 3...tier9, tier1, tier4, which is not the one initially defined.
3) Moreover if i Save and Close the file, the TierOrder in .pfsx file is updated with this new "uncorrect" order.

It so seems that after unhiding I have to reorder the tiers manually...most unfortunate!

You might call it a bug. I think what happens here is interference of an older way of storing the order of tiers (namely in the eaf) with a newer one, namely in the separate pfsx preferences file. I could check whether removing the storage of the tier order in the eaf breaks anything. And if not, whether that would solve this issue.
