Actually, the #automaticPlatformSettings preference is not really used except in SoundPlayer. Furthermore, even that use case seems to just fine-tune platform-specific "atmosphere" and not critical features such as keyboard input (and virtual keys).

<div>Let's remove that preference as long as it's simple to do. Having such a thing widely used and then turned "off" my mistake can yield all kinds of strange bugs, debuggers, and questions in the mailing list.</div>

I don't buy it. It's like a "turn off bugs" feature, which cannot practically exist. One can test features on different platforms without having such a preference in Trunk available for everybody.

<p>Hi Marcel,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>under normal constraints, I would also not recommend turning off this preference. But I can imagine that it might be helpful for debugging purposes, for instance, if you want to test the behavior for another platform ...</p>

I am surprised that such a preference exists since it is an implicit contract to always write code that runs on all supported platforms.
