[X] Filter doesn't remember positioning

Mp3tag gets updates but I have this bug constantly. It is there, I tell you


It has been two years but I finally got my hands on a laptop with Windows 7 x64 SP1 as the operating system. It never had Mp3tag installed on it. And so I downloaded the latest build 2.88d and installed it on the laptop. I also uninstalled Mp3tag 2.88 off my main desktop computer, making sure I wiped all of the files; and then after a reset installed 2.88d on it again. So in both cases I was initially using then default settings. And I even relocated [prior to uninstalling / resetting] my Windows Taskbar from left side of the screen to the bottom, so that it would be more consistent with the settings of the laptop; and removed [for the same reason] Winamp from the autostart of the OS, which is always docked at the top of the screen and is causing other bug [[X] Action group scroll down icon not showing up - again]. And reverted also [in a repeated roll of tests] to Classic Windows Theme

And what happened?

1] This bug was not present on my desktop computer with new default [from installation] settings

2] This bug was not present on my laptop with new default [from installation] settings

3] This bug was not present on my laptop with my own old [improved with years] settings

4] This bug was present on my desktop computer with my old own [improved with years] settings

So this showed me that the bug resides within my Mp3tag config files, but also that some configuration of the same operating system may not bring it up. And those findings are still being consistent with what I concluded earlier:

Although it is most likely that when something went wrong when I started using this machine. Because I don't remember that I had that problem 10 years ago. And here Lame filter position problem I wrote

@zerow

I have this permanent problem since some update a couple of months before: every time I open Mp3tag, the filter search box is placed under the toolbar.
[...]

That gives me an estimated time of the problem starting to appear either at the moment of a new computer or a few months after it. The previous one was running on Windows XP; now I have Windows 7

And so I have prepared my settings stripped down of everything I could erase from them. And still that bug persisted on my desktop computer [I did not checked them out on the laptop as it would be futile- as full version of these settings works on it without the bug manifesting itself]

And so, here are those settings: Mp3tagSettings old stripped down.zip (14.4 KB)

Anyone and everyone: please try them out

And so that you do not have to read old posts, here is what I ask off you with these settings running your Mp3tag: place the vertical Tag Panel on the left side and while keeping the Toolbar visible, put to the right side of it [in the same line] the Filter, so that they are both at the same level; and then close and reopen the Mp3tag and report back, if the Filter box stayed in the same place or was moved below the Toolbar. [Turning off the Filter before closing does not count- if I turn it off first, the next time I reopen Mp3tag it will we turned on in the same position- but that is the issue, that I do not want to keep pressing F3 every time I leave Mp3tag for whatever reason]
