Research direction

Start by reproducing the portable upgrade from 4.0.1 using the copied Settings.xml and launching the executable, then inspect the attached screenshot and compare behavior across versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. Done means identifying why the screen renders incorrectly after the upgrade and documenting or correcting the portable startup behavior.

Description

Hi everyone,
I'm used to work with portable version, but since 4.0.1 when I update by copying Settings.xml to the new version folder, it does not work any more: when I double click the executable file, the screen goes wrong (see screen capture).
Any idea?

many thanks
