R21 HUD behavior changed? Different in S22..

Hi

Prior to R21, My HUD setup was applied to every scene i opened.
Now it’s seems to be applied only to new scenes, not to older ones.

for example, i set it up to show TotalSelected : Objects,Poly,Edges, Points + Camera I t will appear only a new file.
If i open an older file i’ll need to set it up again. It’s a Hud set-up i had for years.. Now it seems to be per file, not a general preference.
Maybe i’m missing on something?

Thanks

G
