Hello,

"When everything fails consult the manual".

Quote from:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_sheets.html

"A window layout is a complete set of multiple windows open each with different symbol, different display interval, different size, 
different set of chart sheets.
[...]

Information saved in layouts include: window sizes and postions, maximized/minimized state chart panes available on each sheet 
(independent for each window), selected bar interval, selected symbol, selected chart sheet

It does. I tested it myself and it works perfectly. BUT autosave of
LAYOUTS must be turned OFF, otherwise on attempt to change it will first SAVE
the layout currently loaded.
