Hello,

TSE 4.50 official release.
TSE for Linux WSL Ubuntu

1. If I start TSE from the *same* directory where e is located, it shows a usual acceptable scheme (see first screenshot)

    start wsl -d Ubuntu -- "/mnt/c/temp/tse_linux/tse/e" "/mnt/c/temp/tse_linux/tse/ddd.s"

2. If I start TSE from a different directory than the directory where e is located, it shows some strange unexpected color scheme (see second screenshot). E.g. using this command line.

    cdd c:\temp\tse_linux\knud\ & start wsl -d Ubuntu -- "/mnt/c/temp/tse_linux/tse/e" "/mnt/c/temp/tse_linux/tse/ddd.s"

3. As a workaround I tried to choose another 'Color scheme', save those colors as a settings file via Full Configuration, e.g. as tselinux450.cfg, and burn it in e using ./sc32 -B tselinux450.cfg. But then restarting TSE in that another directory it still shows this strange color scheme.

4. I tried to start it via these command line possibilities with wsl as parameter, like the command line examples above:

1) PowerShell.exe
2) cmd.exe
3) tcc.exe 

but always the or a strange color scheme applies.

5. It seems at first sight that e (always) applies a specific color scheme when started in the same directory as 'e' than when starting e from another directory.

6. Note: the ultimate goal was to change directory to my TSE macros, then start e from there (that should work as on my TSE for Microsoft Windows now that I have burned 'searchcurrentdirectory' to 'On' into 4.50 official release e). But now I get thus that strange color scheme effect. The only workaround seems to after each restart execute another more acceptable color scheme with more suitable colors (I can thus not permanently burn it into TSE for Linux either it seems as stated above).

First screenshot: OK colors when started e in the same directory

Second screenshot: not OK colors when started e from another directory

7. Expected was thus that e uses a consistent same color scheme independent from the directory from where e is started.

I haven't gotten around to trying out 4.50 yet, but at least in 4.44, I'm not experiencing your color issue..  I have the TSE directory in my path, and when I start it outside of that directory, it is using the color configuration that I burned into the editor.  Have you always had this issue, or is this new with 4.50?

It looks like and I guees I have resolved that issue for now (by running a color scheme setting in my startup TSE file).

Time will tell.

So at the moment not necessary to proceed further until further notice.

Thanks.
