Expected Behavior

When I close OBS, the docks layout should be set where I place them, sizing and placement.

Current Behavior

So question, when is OBS gonna fix the docks issue? I had this issue for a while where my docks will revert back to a previous placemnt/sizing after I close OBS. And this is because I use custom Streaming output. When I don't use it, it works fine, but only when I have it set to it, that it has this issue

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Go to settings > Strean and Change Service to Custom
  2. Add custom docks to OBS
  3. Move them and resize them.
  4. Close OBS
  5. Reopen OBS
    ...
Anything else we should know?

This has been happening for a while now.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue using the listed OBS settings and steps, and inspect the attached OBS log for information about custom output and dock state. The work is done when dock positions and sizes persist after closing and reopening OBS with the Service set to Custom, without regressing the non-custom configuration.
