It worked in 2.7.4 in this scenario:
Created a BRX project with 2 trend views, 2 panes in first trend view (numeric, discrete), 1 pane in 2nd view (numeric). Default data size is 1MB. Changed one of the DST4 in 1st pane of 1st trend view to 99MB. Changed ST7 in 2nd pane of 1st trend view to 98MB. Changed DST22 in 2nd Trend View to 97 MB.
Saved the first trend view as a file, kept the 2nd one as a workspace only trend view. Re-opened the project, both trend views were restored. Both had 1MB for most of the elements, except for the ones mentioned above.
Connected to Simulator. Opened up the saved trend view from the previous session. It had 1MB for all the elements except for the 2 that are 99, 98.
