How to get horizontal track meters to load with project

I accidentally replied in an official feedback thread. Since my reply has the results of my testing as a user, I have moved it here.

Horizontal track meters not saved when reloading project, same thing with buses

Workspaces!

...... I'll bet.  Everything comes back to Workspaces.

This thread has information about meter range settings. The info there might apply to your issue as well.

Perhaps more relevant, if you are talking about last-state UI appearance, try setting Worspaces to "None." If you are using another Workspace that doesn't have meters, when you load a project, that Workspace will get reinstated.  However, with "None," from what I have seen from playing around with Workspaces, last state UI settings do not seem to get overridden.

Just tested this. I never use horizontal meters.  So to test, I changed a project to use horizontal track meters. I then saved that as Screenset 1. (Not sure if this was necessary, but I did it as part of the test.)  UPDATE: Screenset 1 now has the horizontal track meters; my other screensets have retained my vertical track meters.  

Then I saved the project, reloaded it, and tested with different Workspaces and the "None" Workspace.  For each re-loading when I used "None," the horizontal meters loaded with the project.  Other projects load with my usual meters (vertical).

To note that with my test, the horizontal meters have been saved in Screenset 1.
