Column preferences are not saved

[vaindil]

Overview

I don't want to see the attachments column in my database, so I right-click the columns and uncheck the "Has attachments" column. I keep the database window open and scroll down a bit after that, but after 5-10 minutes the window will "reset"--the database scrolls back to the top, and the "Has attachments" column is showing again. I cannot actually get my column preferences to save.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Change column preferences to hide the "Has attachments" column
2. Scroll down
3. Wait 5-10 minutes

Expected Behavior

Nothing should happen, my preferences should be saved and it shouldn't randomly scroll back to the top.

Actual Behavior

My column preferences are not saved and I'm randomly scrolled back to the top.

Context

I'm on 2.6.1, but the problem began with 2.6.0. I was able to change my preferences before 2.6.0 with no problems.

Probably related to search field clearing. Are you in the middle of a search when this happens?

[vaindil]

The column preference does reset after I reset my current search, but it also happens this way:

1. Open KeepassXC (it was previously fully closed).
2. Open database.
3. Clear "Has attachments" from column preferences.
4. Quit KeepassXC correctly from the tray icon context menu.

Reopen KeepassXC and the DB, and the column will be back.

Search columns and normal view columns are different and that behavior is currently by design.

[vaindil]

Understandable, but I think the issue is still valid because of my previous comment. No searching was involved.

Confirmed, the column settings are not saved. Thank you for the report!

Found the bug and fixed it. This was a two-tier problem... we were resetting the size of the paperclip and totp columns everytime a new database tab is opened. This would normally be fine if the hidden state of those columns was preserved. However, there is a Qt bug in saving the header state that only sets the width to 0 and does not preserve the hidden state!
