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.

    Nick - It's so nice to know that there is an ear out.  I know it is off topic, but can you tell me the best way to request features or resolution for issues with other one note items?  One Note is a fantastic program for digital notetaking - but it still needs to straddle the word of paper. My goal is to have a series of continuous letter size pages - that I could take notes on, and scroll vertically - limiting it to letter size width, and either breaking the pages at letter height or someone indicating where that break would be.  This would allow digital notetaking, but allow me to print the notes for issue on letter size paper. I can certainly create a letter size page, take notes on it, then create another page, but then I have to switch from page to page - I can't scroll through the notes. I've searched for a solution everywhere, and I see this has been a request for about a decade, but no way to resolve that I ca see.  Can yo urefer me to a place where there might be a resolution or the best place to raise this with engineers?

    Thanks.

    My 2c: please don't drop the linked notes feature :-) Or the dock to desktop feature. Both super useful. I know I'm just one user. Maybe you guys could do a survey or something?

    As of right now not really. The goal is to have it at reasonable feature parity (less the unused or ridiculous features) in time for the next school year. It will also be the first client to move to the new sync pipeline which will provide advantages in terms of speed of sync and eventually collaboration.
