Subject: bug#36037: Setting Koutliner view spec to <|benl1> and then back to <|ben> does not restore outline view

Handling viewspecs which lack a ‘c’ or a lowercase ‘l’ character is fixed for the next release of Hyperbole 7.0.4 such that these specs are set to their default values (initially set to 0, meaning all lines, levels) and the view is updated.

The bug can be closed if desired.

At most, you only ever use one pipe character.  Maybe instead of <|ben|1> you mean <|benc1> which clips the outline to 1 line per cell?

Adding 'a' (show all cell levels and all lines in cells) takes precedence over both of them, and will show all cell levels and lines no matter what else is in the view spec.
