Disappearing tabs

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

TC installed in c:\totalcmd\
Download my wincmd.ini and replace yours: http://rghost.net/private/59548874/1453fdacb9d3037a9cffa141744c187d
Make directories dir0\ dir1\ dir2\ in c:\
Open TC and notice that tabs on right panel are loaded, close TC
Open TC again - tabs on right panel are missing (!)
Close again, and all tabs from right panel are gone - if there's no 'activetab' parameter TC will truncate tabs.

If you're lucky enough you can get this error message: Image: http://i.imgur.com/eOxQ4Kl.jpg
I got it sometimes when I tried to close TC.

At the beginning I thought that the problem is in Unicode encoding, but if you truncate tabs leaving 3-4 of them on each panel, TC will save the settings as it should be.

Your [righttabs] section written as unicode file is about 76,942 bytes large.
Even if ms would count unicode characters, this exceeds clearly the maximum section size.

Mystery solved. So without 'activetab' parameter TC will truncate whole [righttabs] section.
