What do we want to do about this?  At project opening, "automatically fit
vertically zoomed" as currently implemented and "save track heights in
project" are incompatible. For example, resize one of your twenty fitted
tracks, do some other edit if necessary and save and reopen the project.
That one track will be resized when you re-open. But if I reopen a
twenty-track project that was automatically fitted at exit (*and saved in
1.3.8*), it reopens fitted due to the saved track heights. Are you still
seeing that it doesn't?     

If we make "automatically fit" like you suggested (refit is only done when a
track is added or deleted), then I think reopening projects with exactly
their saved heights is consistent with that.   

We're getting a fair few user suggestions now that a better/less confusing
solution than automatic fit would be a vertical project zoom essentially
like the horizontal zoom. This would be one solution to the niggle of having
to resize every track of a fitted multi-track project if you want to get an
overview of all the waveforms (Expand All Tracks only works if you
previously resized a track).
