Hi Bill,

The default bundle captures both the map and the projection and any zooming you
have done and is used to recreate the state if the IDV at startup.
However, the default bundle is not used when you create a new View window. What
should be applied to the new window is just the map and the projection
preferences, not any zoom level.
