Swapping Personas Resizes Spellbar Window

I like to run my spell gem window as a single line horizontal row. No matter what I try, when I swap personas the game resizes the window to a 2-row horizonal rectangular sized window. The game does not do this when the spell gem bar is in a single vertical row configuration.

I'm going to assume this is a bug, but if anyone has any suggestions that can resolve this I'm all ears. And no, locking the window does not work. In fact, it's more annoying as I have to unlock the window in order to drag the edge back into position.

Persona's have individual UI files. It could be that the spellbar settings are not getting updated in the persona's config file. When you are the persona, resize the spell window, camp to desktop, and then log back in. That might get the UI file updated properly for that persona.

Yes it does seem the Persona file is not saving. I tried what you suggested with no change. I'm going to starting manually tinkering with some of the window size settings in the file.

Ok, the game is changing the sizing edits I make in the resolution specific settings of the UI file when I swap Personas.

The bolded settings were changed to 746 and the file saved before logging into the game. After logging in I checked the file again and the widths were still 746. I swapped Personas and they changed to 372 above. This appears to be related to the resolution specific settings the game adds to the file.

Yes, reloading UI in general (which is what swapping personas does) does not like stretched spell gem bars, this has been known for a long time.

Fair, but I've been using a horizontal single row spell bar for years and reloaded the UI many times without issue. This does seem to be more related to the class based UI file handling for Personas but I don't have enough evidence.

By the way the solution I found was to copy the main UI window file for the spell gems into a custom UI folder and swap the height and width window size values from a single row vertical and load that UI. It doesn't solve the underlying problem but its a workaround I can live with.

Does the same for me. Not a big issue just annoying.

Same here. It never did that till I used a persona. It always changes it to 8 gems length. I think that was the original max.
