Startbar forgets number of "rows"

[Swifty]

I'm asking this on behalf of a colleague, so if you need more details,
it may take me a while.

He dragged his Start bar to the left hand side of his display. He
dragged it out so it was three rows (would that be columns? I've never
had my bar there). He then locked the bar.

At the subsequent boot it was back to 1 row/column, despite being
locked. To add insult to injury, he had to unlock it to put it back to
three rows/columns. Then he locked it again. Until the subsequent
boot... and so on.

The size gets remembered correctly if he has it at the bottom; it is
only when it is on the left that the size resets.

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix/workaround?

I've seen the problem posted before but didn't remember there being a
solution. But I did a Google search and happened upon this possible
solution:

Thank you. My colleague works in the US, but is called "Pierre" so
perhaps uses French in addition to English, so might use the Language
Taskbar.
