SEL Button state is not saved ... it's not a bug because it's more a kind of user mode than a parameter...
but i m' going to think about... does it need to be saved ?...

Look around 0:19 in the video. Its not obvious that I click 3 times on SEL button. At first SEL mode is active (look at levels) but button is dark, 1 click - SEL mode is active and button is active, 2 click - no SEL mode (all levels are 0db) and button is dark, 3 click - SEL mode is active again. So if I shut down VoiceMeter with active SEL then after restart all my levels are in SEL mode, but button is dark.

all SEL button OFF is equivalent to all SEL buttons ON.

To make it clearer: I have changed faders levels on A1 SEL mode. On disabled SEL mode all faders are at 0db. So after restarting Voicemeter it should have either no active SEL buttons and all faders should be (in my example) at 0db OR it should have active SEL mode on A1 (in my example before I shutdown Voicemeter in my video) with correct faders levels. I personally would like that everything is restored on restart. I hope my description is not very confusing, here is video https://streamable.com/v8lap with better description

It looks like this bug is not fixed in 3.0.1.3. So I wrote a simple program that "re-select" bus. And made Task Scheduler to launch that program when Voicemeeter is launched. Maybe anyone else will find use for it. Example "VoicemeeterReSEL.exe 3" to select (reselect) bus A3 or just launch without any arguments to select bus A1. Source files are available if you don't trust random exe files from internet.

I have SEL on bus A1 and some adjusted sliders. I restart the Voicemeeter. The sliders are on the same positions, but no SEL mode at any buses (as shown in the video at 0:16 I posted before). I get confused by sliders positions and forget that actually no SEL mode selected, then I change slider -> reseting all previously adjusted slider positions for each bus SEL. I almost always have SEL mode on A1 and I dont want to click every time on same SEL button after restart so I wrote program that fixes that inconvenience. Whether this behavior is intentional or not I have already "fixed" that bug for myself.
