A setting has been added to the Preferences settings to allow you to display column load view in a pop-up window rather than in a permanent view. This was done to circumvent a problem associated with certain touch screen monitors that the program would crash upon entering column load view.
This had been done previously for beam load view (see versions 8.12 / 8.13, below), but it was found that the problem also occurred, albeit more rarely, with columns.
