When changing sessions (say from Qualifying to the Race) the Standings tab in the Timingscreen will become unresponsive (while other tabs are fine) and require the Timingscreen to be closed and opened, which loses all previous data (EG: Who is in what position, what their qualifying time was etc).

It makes spectating the start of the race very difficult because driver positions do not update immediately while on the grid or shortly after, thus changing driver and knowing who is in what position is a challenge.

I've tried having "Keep current session selected" both ticked and unticked, and I've used all three "Update Channels" with a few different themes and I can't seem to stop this from happening.

I've never heard about this problem. Does it happen on every type of race or only a specific series or something?

Also, simply closing the timing screen should not cause ATVO to lose all data. Unless you mean closing ATVO completely, in that case yes the data will be gone, but most things (like positions) will repopulate immediately when you connect again.

So far it's happened with every series I've tried, including a private league session, and yeah I'm just closing the TimingScreen window, not the whole program. If it helps I can try to make a video of what happens.
