Remember "Show tabs" setting in OneNote ribbon?

I have a question regarding permanently showing the ribbon tabs in full screen mode. In Office 2013, going into full screen mode means that everything is hidden, except for a very short horizontal bar across the top of the screen. To access anything on the ribbon, I have to click on this bar to show the ribbon first. If I want to pin the ribbon so that tabs are visible at all times in full screen mode, I have to click on this bar, click a menu button near the minimize button (also hidden in full screen), and then click Show Tabs. However, OneNote does not remember this setting. Thus, every time I exit full screen mode or restart OneNote and then reenter full screen mode, I have to re-pin the ribbon again.

How do I get OneNote to remember this setting permanently? It worked in OneNote 2010.

Thanks!

Hey all! OneNote engineer here :)

Update: This has been fixed in all standard Office 365 deployments with build 7766.2060. Simply update to enjoy!

Starting with Version 1701 Build 7766.2029 and later (see File=>Accounts to check your build number) OneNote 2016 O365 will remember any changes you make to the full screen mode ribbon settings both during and between sessions.

As of 1/30/2017 this is deployed to Insiders Fast and will be making its way to "Current Channel" production on 2/14. If you want this change now you can switch to "Insiders Fast" and you can switch back and fourth fairly easily.

    Just wanted to write in to say this is STILL a problem with onenote 2016! And add my voice to those calling for change asap. 

    I'm wondering how much I'll actually use my new surface pro except when on the road, due to this hassle.

    Just adding my vote that it's ridiculous and extremely irritating not having the option to set this. I ink in Full Page View, and every time I want to switch pages I have to go to Normal View and then redo the Ribbon Display Option setting after going back into Full Page View. It's completely silly and a real letdown by Microsoft.

    It's 2016 now and it's no longer a new thing. Any updates?

    Microsoft, please allow this setting to be saved. Also, when using a tablet in vertical orientation, sometimes this option isn't even available.

    Please listen to your users on this issue.
