Hmm, well, short summary: bugs happen.

That way, it’s hidden normally, but the reset procedure is easy to explain, even to damn fools. Plus, it’s really, really easy to set this up IB these days.
Not a bad idea. The button I added currently lives at (App)->Preferences->(“Advanced" Tab)-> "Reset Preferences…” —> Alert to confirm with warning that you need to think about it carefully. So not all that visible. But an alt menu item leading to the same alert would be sensible too.
