User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0 Build ID: 20170628075643 Steps to reproduce: Had to repair (again) a folder... Actual results: As a consequence, had to redo all View customizations (add columns, remove columns, change column order, change sort order). Expected results: Repairing a folder should not lose important view customizations, so these should be separated out ort somehow otherwise protected so they can be restored after repairing a folder. Of course, there should also be a sanity test, so that if these got corrupted somehow, the corruption would be repaired (and may result in having to redo them).
I could have sworn that not only was there already a bug open for this, but that I had subscribed to it, but for the life of me I couldn't find it.
Well, ok, but that is one of the worst Bug Summaries I've ever seen to simply describe the problem. Why not change it to mine, which actually makes sense?
