If using the Alt+E window to connect to a network, the htile vtile cascade icons all un-hide and un-disable themselves.

Same thing happens if I simply click to open 'Options' and then immediately click 'OK'.

I tested as far back as v7.42 and found the current behavior there, but did not find it in v6.35

The alias in this link from the v6.35 era no longer works completely since '/buttons off' is reversed each time someone uses 'OK' or 'Connect' to exit the options dialog.

The next command hides+disables the tile and cascade icons then verifies that they are disabled and Forum users can undo this with /toolbar -r

//toolbar -hb htile | toolbar -hb vtile | toolbar -hb cascade | echo -a $toolbar(htile).enabled $toolbar(vtile).enabled $toolbar(cascade).enabled

If I use the lightning-bolt connect icon to disconnect and reconnect the same server, the icons stay hidden and disabled. Same behavior from using /file in the menubar to connect or reconnect.

But if I use the Alt+E hotkey to use the serverlist dialog to reconnect to that server or to open a new server window, these 3 icons immediately are visible in their enabled state.

Clicking the connect button in the Alt+E window also includes an implied clicking 'OK' to confirm other changes elsewhere in the options tree, but there aren't any changes related to the toolbar or anything else being changed or saved.

I can't find anything in OPTIONS related to cascading, and the only things related to the toolbar is for small/large icons or multiline, but I wouldn't expect the act of opening options and clicking OK without doing anything inside should change anything. As a test, I hid all icons:

//var %i 1 | while ($toolbar(%i)) { toolbar -h %i | inc %i }

... and confirmed that these 3 tile/cascade icons and the lightning bolt 'connect' icon are the only ones who un-hide themselves from exiting Options by clicking OK.

I also used /toolbar -fs to save the hidden icons to toolbar.ini so I could confirm that OK'ing out of the options was not auto-loading from toolbar.ini because /toolbar -fl would hide the 3 icons again.


Edit: correction:

The alias does work because it -d deletes these icons instead of hiding them, and clicking OK to exit Options doesn't resurrect the buttons from the dead.
