Settings with font size > 14 prevents MC from saving explorer panel settings

[dBASE ace]

Using MC 16.0 Build 3186. If the font size for Path and File List (these are the only two I tested) is set to a value greater than 14, and Save on Exit is checked, MC does not respect the Explorer Panel settings upon restart. I am particularly focusing on the columns Ext, Size and Date in this test. I have greatly expanded the column width with no change in the issue. After changing the Font values, I click Apply and Save. Please advise me if I am missing another step or option. TIA

Not able to reproduce that.. If I change the font and restart it is using that.
Is it only font settings ?
maybe it fails to save settings.. check logview  Ctrl+L when you save settings if there is an error saving settings

OK - a bit of further testing. I am using a Dell 34" curved monitor for this issue. Resolution is 3440 X 1440. No errors in the log file.
Testing this on a Dell flat screen, resolution 1920 x 1080, changing the font size to 16, there is no issue. So, it seems somehow this issue is related to the higher resolution?
Any thoughts on why the resolution or other setting would cause this??

Thx

What font size you have can't affect if settings are saved or not..

Do you have any idea why the resolution would affect these settings.

[Mathias (Author)]

Eh something is very strange..  there is no logic that changing the font size in MC would affect if settings are saved or not..

[dBASE ace]

Could higher resolution be the issue?

[Mathias (Author)]

ehh how should the resolution affect if you can save setting or not.. that or more like a filesystem issue

I'll keep testing...

typing ":goconfig" in command line field. you see the config files.
when you do a change to config and save/apply then that file will change MultiCommander.xml or ExplorerPanel.xml, Make sure they are not readonly or something. and if you got Multiple instance of MC running. they can overwrite the files for each other.

I thought this issue was corrected, but apparently not...

While I have set the font sizes under Display/Fonts, I need a way to increase the size of the File, Edit, View etc. options. As you can see they are tiny on a 34" curved monitor with high resolution.

Where might I find the setting to increase their size?

Thanks,
John
