[Gretl-users] A critical bug and a feature request

I have a bug report and a feature request: 1)- When I open a saved model (OLS) based on a sub-sample, I see that, when running various tests, the original subsample is not always remebered. For example, I have a model saved as an icon which uses the variables 1-90. When I open the model with the full range restored, White's test, BP and Chow tests for example remember the subsample while RESET and normality of residual tests don't. Here, RESET test returns 1.8e+308 while the normality of the residual window reports using the observations 1-350 instead of 1-90 (although the results seem to be correct). Moreover, instead of full range, if I use another range, say 91-150, White's tests and others also seem to return misleading output or error messages such as "missing values encountered" or "Insufficient data to build frequency distribution for variable uhat7." I think it is very important that all tests avaliable for different models are checked for this type of problem. One more thing to consider here is that it is possible (as probably should be) to change the sample range while a model window is open and doing this also causes the above errors so this situation should also be taken into account. 2)- It would be really neat if there is an option for the model table that makes it possible to set the number of digits or decimal places for the coefficients as well as se's and whether t stats will be shown etc. For example, I have a table with 8 models which could be much smaller if I show 3 digits. Also related, the LaTeX output for the model table uses hardcoded \footnotesize commands for each standard error value. If I need to make the whole table smaller, these remain unchanged resulting in a weird looking table. Of course I can fix this by using the find and replace command of the editor but I think it would be neat if there was an option for the model table for setting table size, keeping everything nice and proportional.
