Variables not staying put

Running v 1.3
I have a few variable that aren't staying put where I want them.  I set them for the "large display", where only the value of the variable shows, and positioned them in a particular spot on the stage.  I'm using the variable to keep score in a multiplayer game.

Anyways, I saved the file as I wanted it, but when I open the file those two variables reset back to regular display and to the top left of the screen.  It's kinda cosmetic, as everything still works, but the effect I'm going for is ruined.

Thoughts on fixing this?

Re: Variables not staying put

hmm... This never occurred for me. It may be a bug in 1.3

Re: Variables not staying put

I downloaded your project, unhid the Player 1 and Player 2 variables, switched them to large mode, saved the project, then reopened it.  The variables stayed in large format mode.  This leads me to believe that the problem is with your version of Scratch.

Start up scratch with a new blank project and look in the upper left corner of the window containing scratch.  It should say. "Scratch 1.3 (release of 2-Sep-08)"

Is that the version you are running too?

Re: Variables not staying put

Indeed, that is the version I'm running.  This happens on two different computers both running latest version.

I'll keep working on it - perhaps my media is corrupt.
I'll redo the project in a fresh file...
