I don't think it's the IDE that corrupts it (as I don't think the IDE creates those config entries?)  A couple of theories: maybe running the project through the IDE with debug and setting a custom toolbar layout? or maybe if the executable crashes after (and not related to) setting the custom layout?  But I have not found a true cause as I don't notice the toolbar change until some time later.

The project is too big. I'll try to mock up something that shows it over the next week (I'll be away for a few days).

Other information:
1. The toolbar contains labels, menubuttons, toolbuttons, and a buttonbox. All have actions (except the labels of course) and it is interesting that the labels are always left in the config entry after the corruption happens and I always get one actioned item included and visible in the toolbar, but it has moved to the right hand end of the Layout line (as in the example above).
2. I am fairly sure that it only happens after I have "Configure"d the toolbar while the project is running.  When does the runtime write that config out, when the configure popup is closed or after the project exits?
3. The actions are named by group and default position , e.g. "taskfilter.0" etc.  This does not seem to be an issue though?
4. The Configure popup "Reset" button does not correct the layout after the corruption occurs.  This, I suppose after thinking this through, is the real issue.  How and where does the "Reset" button get its' layout information from? I would have thought that it goes back to the .form file?
