In a recent post I stated that there was a problem with WRI system palettes remembering their positions. This was only partially true. The new palettes do remember their position. It is only the older palettes in the Other folder, such as Basic Math Input, that do not remember their position. I was informed by WRI that this was an oversight and this probably will be fixed in a future update. (I was being something of an old fogy in using the Basic Math Input palette. I was just used to it. But the new palettes such as Basic Math Assistant really are better.) I also suggested that this problem could be corrected by changing the Security permissions for the Wolfram Palettes folder. This does work, but it is bad practice to change the permissions on Wolfram installation folders. So, if you are using the new palettes, there is no problem, and if you are using some of the old palettes the best thing might be to live with it until the next update.
