OK, but you what is wrong with just automatically stopping the meters 
when you hit the settings tab? I can't see that what you say, while it 
is clearly correct, has any bearing on this.

Now, how about the little boxes for individual instruments. When you 
remove the cross to disable, the meter just sits wherever it was when 
you hit the button. Much better to remove the bar and max telltales.
