@outline-data tree-abbreviations stopped working

[Largo84]

I have many abbreviations using @outline-data tree-abbreviations and they worked fine yesterday. None work today after updating Leo from GitHub. Ideas? Or shall I file a bug report?

Rob........

PS The abbreviations listed in @data global-abbreviations and @data abbreviations appear to work as expected.

I use @outline-data tree-abbreviations daily and they still work for me.

The problem was that I also had a @outline-data tree-abbreviations node in the file's @settings tree. Apparently, that disables anything from the myLeoSettings.leo file. This raises another question; the other abbreviation settings can have gobal and local abbreviations, but @outline-data tree-abbreviations cannot. Is there a design reason for the limitation?

​I suppose you could call it an accident of the implementation, but tree abbrevs are significantly more difficult to implement, so the "accident" isn't too surprising.

Thanks for your reply, Edward. Maybe I'll submit an enhancement request to allow multiple instances. It's not an urgent issue, but nice to know what caused the apparent failure.
