- Operating System, Graphics card ---

cpu: intel core i3 2350 2.3 ghz
ram: 4 gb
gfx: intel hd graphics 3000
os: windows 7 home premium sp 1

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

error found in: 35bc266 win64.
was working in: e2c412f win64.

- Short description of error ---

2.71.6 no longer reading user ui panel arrangement from earlier saved blend files.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

[apparently happens with all blend files saved with 2.71.5 or earlier]

i know it's subjective, but this is in my opinion the most annoying glitch/bug/feature i've seen in several years, in any program i use on a regular basis.

is it going to be left like this?

ie for those of us that like working with custom screens, and i personally use 42 of them in my main project, we now have to rearrange them to our preference again and save them in 2.71.6?

why can't the latest builds just read the ui panel arrangement as has been done for years previously?

sorry for the rant guys, but i'm really not happy with this one.

Issue confirmed. No point in ranting though, issue has been reported before any official release… As a reminder, any build between official release is considered experimental and should not be used in production (or be used knowing the risks). ;)

thanks very much, and understood mont.

nowadays i do try to remain pragmatic, but this issue really got to me yesterday, i'm calm again though today.
