Doing View>Options>Ladder then checking the All Open Views box, then clicking okay, close window it doesn't stay checked. I reopen ladder tab and the box is unchecked, it will not stay checked. What is missing? I noticed this before but forgot to mention it.

I assume it means apply all the changes you've just made in that session with the dialog to new views.  If you reopen the dialog later, there's nothing to apply until you change some setting.

This is what I am trying to get rid of. Can not get the help from popping up.

If that is the tooltip in the instruction toolbox, right click on the toolbox and uncheck "Show Help Tooltip".

That worked. That right click will get you every time. lol.  The instruction at the bottom in the pop up is misleading.

Yes, it is. The tooltip is reused in both context, and apparently no provision was made for generating different text when used with the toolbox. Shouldn't be hard to fix.
