The play panel doesn't save location on startup and it resets every time I start Musescore

  1. Turn on the option to show the play panel panel on startup

  2. make the play panel a floating window

  3. restart Musescore

Are other dialog positions being saved for you? I wonder if maybe you are actually seeing a crash on exit that prevents all such settings from being written.

I can reproduce as well, even without messing with the startup preference. Just open play panel, undock, quit, restart, open play panel again.

BTW, not that it really is relevant here, but some exit crashes happen after the session is successfully saved, so it is possible to get a crash and not know it. Of course, if the session data is successfully saved, that suggests you wouldn't see symptoms like this anyhow.

OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.2.311459983, revision: 465e7b6

Here, the undocked play panel reverts to docked when the program is closed and reopened.
