Opening my 2.2 project files in 2.3 results in a bunch of incorrect settings

Should my 2.2 project files open in 2.3 with the settings intact? A number of the settings are not set correctly after opening a 2.2 project file in 2.3.

Never noticed any issues. Any specifics?

I will post some screenshots today. I wish I could still open 2.2 to show the differences but it was removed during the upgrade.

You can actually run 2.2.0 at the same time as 2.3 but you have to start it running from a local source. 

Basically 2.2 and 2.3 normally save all their settings and profiles to the same place, and 2.2 doesnt like the 2.3 settings. 

However you can start the 2.2 exe file with some command line switches.  When you do that and specify a different folder to save settings in it acts like a clean install and as long as you always start it using the command line switch settings the 2 can co-exist side by side quite happily as the settings folders are different.  Of course opening a 2.3 project in 2.2 also doesn't work any more but hey ho.
