When adding QSOs in real-time and the QSO window is still empty, each time a new spot comes up the mode and band are set according to that spot. The default settings in Prefs|QSO are ignored.>
Thanks for all the comments. BTW, disabling Callsign Update in Prefs|QSO doesn't cure the problem.
I really appreciate the fact that I only have to double-click on a spot from the DX cluster in order to bring it into the QSO window with correct band and mode entries.
But when I'm r u n n i n g QSOs on a particular band in a particular mode and finish and add one QSO by pressing the enter key thus leaving the QSO window empty for a while (sometimes a long while) before I type in the next callsign (of a station answering my CQ call or so) I don't want to program to automatically change band and/or mode just because a new spot comes in telling the world that this fixed-in-his-views nerd Nino, IT9RYH, is still blocking 14.195 kHz.
The point is: Since it has been reported as a bug, as others tell me, it should be fixed. And it should be fixed at least with a new major release; or a plausible explanation should be given why it wasn't or couldn't be fixed.
As I said: I've been a happy user of DX4WIN for many years and recommended it to many a friend but if that bug isn't fixed I have to start looking for alternatives.
