Tasks dialogue disappearing, then position mapping doesnt work.

when i click on the dropdown "select V8i Mode", and choose Dialogue, the "tasks" dialogue box opens and docks to the left side of the screen.

if we go off a page , i.e. Navigate from a panel layout to a schematic, the tasks dialogue box disappears, and to get it back i have to go to "select V8i Mode" select "toolbox", then re-select "dialogue"
it then re-opens the docked tasks panel.

i've tried going to save settings once the task dialogue is open, but nothing seems to work.

also oddly the position mapping only seems to work while the "tasks" dialogue is open.
