Sorry, I've been out of town all week and I had a disk crash last weekend .

I thought LDM was handling style choices correctly, but I will test this again over the weekend. The code that handles style choices has not changed (as far as I can see) from version 2.2.6 to 2.2.7. So if there's a bug, it's in both versions.

You need to be aware of the following:

* The default behaviour is simply to use the current VB setting, so if the user has made a choice or not, this should be used.

* It is possible to over-ride this behaviour, either for LDM as a whole or on a category basis. This is done with the *default_style* setting - the global value is set on the admin/settings page and the per-category value is set on the relevant Edit Category/control settings page. See attached image.

* If the value is over-ridden in a category, then that new value will also apply in any categories that are children of the category, etc, unless they over-ride the value themselves.

* Some LDM displays will not use a category over-ride, because they are not part of the category structure. For example, the admin pages, search pages, etc, always use the global LDM setting.

So I suggest you check that you haven't told LDM to use an explicit style.
