Hello George,
I wasn't aware this 'reset' might happen once the values were manually set.
To prevent any direct FLdigi induced modifications, you can, of course, edit the fldigi.prefs file and then write protect it (via right click - Properties - 'Read-only' or the like), but then if you change anything while running FLdigi, this also won't be stored for the next launch. So there's always a snag, it seems...
When I tried to figure out what to modify, I found a couple of other parameters which may or may not have an effect, too, e.g.:
rx_text_height:
tile_y:
tile_h:
tile_y_ratio:
...and so on. Unfortunately, some of these config keys are not really self-explanatory and a few called 'ratio' actually appear to be a decimal factor around 1, while others, despite also being called 'ratio', are given in pixels, which is not exactly easy to understand, as far as I'm concerned.
So I agree, and I fear that's where we're stuck at this point.
Just like you, I wish David who (unlike me) really knows what he does and advises would reply directly with a 'proper' solution...
Hopefully another input or idea will evolve at some point, but until then, enjoy the radio hobby and FLdigi nonetheless!
73s Tobias

Hello Tobias,
?
Well the issue has returned with the wide gray area where the TX text was.? What is strange is that when I close the program the "int_tile_y_ratio:" is reset to 835, it's original value.? I have tried this a number of times.? I make sure that the prefs text file is closed before running and closing FLDigi.? When the gray area is displayed and then FLDigi is closed, the program appears to subtracting the gray area line height from the "int_tile_y_ratio:" value. ? So I am stuck right now.
?
In the really old day, W1HKJ would chime in with answers or comments.? I am sure he is busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger these days.? So we have to look at this situation as not a bug, but a feature.? It would just be nice to have a SWL version of the program.

Thanks for the offer to write a script file for the character issue, but it is not worth the effort, as I generally read the incoming text as it is received.

Have great Tuesday, Tobias.
