Description

Latest version: 3.1.6

I have save some view settings:

But when I open the CPU stacks view I still have all the columns:

Should this work or am I doing something wrong?

With above screenshot, I first have to click --eg. "Fold"--, which will add a checkmark to the settings but not change the view. Then I can deselect it an the column disappears.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the saved-view workflow in PerfView 3.1.6: save column settings, open the CPU stacks view, and compare the restored state. Trace how saved settings are applied when the view opens and how the Fold option updates the view. Done means saved column selections are restored immediately without toggling an option first.
