[0.50.0 build of July 4th] Some client settings do not save properly

[SirChaos1]

Some client settings do not save properly, and instead reset to default the next time MegaMek is launched.

The settings I´ve experienced this with are keymaps (Next Weapon in particular, as that´s the only one I´ve changed so far) and the Auto Display setting for the minimap.

A lot of other settings do save properly, including Show Wrecks and (strangely enough) the Auto Display setting for the player list.

The location, but not the size, of the minimap also resets to the default, whereas unit display and round report stay where I put them.

I´ve been launching MegaMek from MekHQ, not directly.

I can confirm that the Auto Display - Minimap client setting resets after closing and re-opening the Megamek client in the previous 49.20 release as well. I am launching Megamek directly.

I also find that the minimap maintains its position, while the round report resets its position (the opposite of what you saw), although both seem to maintain their size.

FWIW the issue happens exactly the same when I launch MM directly, not through MHQ.

@SirChaos1 @gsparks3 Can you please post your operating system (Windows, OS X, or Linux)?

[gsparks3]

I'm on Windows 10.

[SirChaos1]

Windows 10 as well.

when you see these issues does the mmconf\clientsettings.xml file get updated?

I put in a fix for the auto display one

[gsparks3]

Hmm. Testing shows that the round report and minimap seem to be remembering their positions for me now in 49.20. Not sure why it was resetting before ...

Thanks for the minimap auto-display fix!
