Using a 16:9 screen resolution it makes more sense to use the orientation 'Left to Right' (in Actions Tab)  
Unfortunately FB&nbsp;does not remember that I&nbsp;prefer this view, thus I&nbsp;need to change the orientation each time I start FB 7.

Is there a way to get FB&nbsp;starting in 'Left to Right'&nbsp;orientation (e.g. a registry key or an ini setting)?

Hi Michael,   
  
 I’ve just updated the action types frame so that it remembers which orientation you have selected, I’ll let you know when a new test build is available.

Hi Paul,

I have tested the new build. The 'left to right' orientation is now restored.

Thank you for the fast response and the immediat fix.

Nearly perfect&nbsp;-&nbsp;a small issue is left:&nbsp;the width of the columns are not restored properly. My left hand 'caption&nbsp;column' is smaller than the right hand 'contents column'. I close FB and restart it. After the restore the caption column is wider than the content column, which causes nearly each action text to be wrapped on two lines.

But that's a minor issue - but if you find the&nbsp;solution /&nbsp;the way of how to fix it quickly ....

Best regards and thanks again

Michael
