Bug: Saved Layouts don’t remember Follow setting to “None” of ToolsBug: Saved Layouts don’t remember Follow setting to “None” of Tools
If you set “Follow” to “None” on any of the tools that can follow (Text Comparison, Copy Bible Verses, Explorer, Power Lookup, and Cited By) and save the layout, then close all and open that Layout back up, it has forgotten that you set “Follow” to “None” and the Tool set is back to “Follow” again.
