Andrew,

For configuring the Layer List under v3.32.3 I am missing:
- Enable hierarchical layers
- 3 Pro columns preferences
- Off means freeze or not

See screen capture in this v3.32.2 related forum topic.
Issue persists in v3.32.3 release.

Seems like looking at the LayerList preference page instead that of LayerListPro.

Similar as in v3.27.6.0 except when visiting the App. Prefs. a first time in a QCAD session.
For any next attempt the listing is as in the v3.32.2 screen capture.


Workaround for current art:
Configure the preferences per direct in qcad.ini under the header [LayerListPro]

Regards,
CVH

Behaviour not reproducible here so far.

To exclude all interference with custom tools.
Downloaded 'Windows 32bit ZIP Archive' qcad-3.32.3-trial-win32.zip

Extracted to custom folder on my D drive.

On D:/QCADtest/qcad.exe start:
QCAD Professional Trial 3.32.3 / Qt 5.13.2 / Windows i386

Applications Preferences .. Widgets .. Layer List displays one row.
'Enable alternating row colors'

Andrew,
I have probably discovered the cause.

Removed the -always-load-scripts switch from the desktop shortcut target.
After that the Pro preferences display just fine.

Too bad, because that is a very useful switch for fine-tuning scripts on the fly.

Figuring that LayerList.js is re-initiated somehow and that LayerListPro.js doesn't supersedes that again.
