Original status: 5-Cause Known; Suggested Status: NEW Description: Build 050906_2, WinXP EA2 Steps: [1] create a new project and add to it some virtual forms > notice the vf's legend towards the bottom right of the designer window [2] close/re-open project > the toolar toggles off the virtual forms view (ie. vf legend and toolbar icon are not activated) Description (Entry 2): Changing customer type to external as requested by user on forum: http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=93102 Evaluation: The legend state is not persistent. Should it be? Evaluation (Entry 2): I think that it would be good to remember the state of the virtual forms view (on or off) between invocations of the tool. In fact, I would expect that this might be on a per-page basis, as once the user has started to use VF on a page, they will most likely want to see the VF view of that page (unless they explicitly turn it off). Evaluation (Entry 3): The designer view is not serializable now. Changing that, and serialize the state of the virtual forms switch would solve the problem.
As mentioned above, the designer tab is not serializable. Investigating.
