Hi Jeff, What I would "expect" is if there is some kind of dependency between settings by color and thread detection, is that the user interface would let the user know this by radio buttons, grouping, etc. What I expected to happen is that once I turn things on or off, and move to a different element and do something with that element in the same screen, that my previous changes would be there, then I could apply/save. Does this make any sense? (In my prior profession, I was a usability engineer, so I get kind of picky.) What actually happened -- turned on the thread detection, turned on the settings by color (thread detection still on after turning colors on), turned off the setting by color, thread detection "automatically" turned off. (I don't see where settings by color, gives the user the ability for detection by color.)

If you turn on Settings By Color, then the different settings can be by color and needle, not just for the entire design. I am sure that the thread break detection is off for all Settings By Color as well, so when you turned Settings By Color on, it turned off Thread Break Control, so when turning off the Settings By Color, it left off the thread break control off again. As there is a problem there, I would expect it to act this way. The problem is actually in the 6.08.027 software, not the 6.08.522 software.
