st: 2 issues with 64-bit Stata on Mac OS X
I've noticed the following two issues since upgrading from the 32-bit
to 64-bit version of Stata/SE 10.1:
1. Very often when I launch Stata, I get the dialog box telling me it
has been at least 7 days since I last checked for updates. This
despite: (1) checking for updates more recently than 7 days, and (2)
deselecting the preference to "Enable automatic update checking". It
appears that that preference setting does not "stick" for me in the 64-
bit version.
2. I switch somewhat regularly between using the monitor on my MacBook
Pro and a larger external monitor. I have set up two different sets
of preferences for the locations of all the various Stata windows for
the two monitors and I use "Manage Preferences" to switch between
them. The preferences work to systematically move the window
locations and sizes of all windows (e.g, Command, Variables, Review,
etc.) to the desired locations/sizes EXCEPT for the Results window --
which always remains at its last setting. All windows (including
Results) switched from one saved location to another as expected under
32-bit Stata. Creating new sets of preferences from scratch has not
fixed this issue.
Please note that I am running OS X 10.5.7 and what appears to be the
most recent version of Stata:

Any help would be appreciated.
