Problem gone: Why does the 12.0.0.2601 ISQL keep resetting its options?

[Breck_Carter]

Update: The following problem has gone away by itself. It is possible that a reboot took care of it, and if so, that's just plain embarrassing... to me. That's like forgetting to wave a dead chicken over the keyboard... which I also didn't do, oops 🙂

Why does installing the Version 12.0.0.2601 EBF clear the previously-checked setting for ISQL - Tools - Options - Compatibility - Pressing the Esc key clears SQL statements and closes result sets?

This is displayed for both previously-existing and freshly-created databases, even though the checkbox was checked prior to the installation of 12.0.0.2601...

It also reset Options - SQL Anywhere - Results - Show results from each statement back to the default un-selected state:

This is a continuing problem... set and save the options, shut down and restart (database and dbisql), and all the options have been reset again... argh!

It's time to remember you of your own comment on this question: http://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/questions/1200... Or do you really attempt to stay "Old school" forever?

FWIW, on my boxes (which have undergone all 12.0.0 EBFs so far), the option is still set after 12.0.0.2601 is installed. This is on 32-bit Windows.

@Volker: I think you first comment applies to a whole different question. And of course it works for you, The Force is with you! 🙂

@Breck: Correct, my first comment doesn't relate to this particular question. It's just a reminder that compatibility with old behaviour (and us old-school users) seems a goal one has to struggle for. - "Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight", as a well-known Canadian said.

@Everyone: If you think this question is shape-shifting, you are correct... both the title and question have changed twice since original input, as the severity of the problem slowly reveals itself to me 🙂

[VolkerBarth]

@Breck: So you say the unwanted reset doesn't appear by means of an EBF but merely by restarting the engine? That would indeed be a much more severe problem, methinks.
