Hi Gabriel,
Thanks! This partially resolves my problem, since in most cases I use the auto contrast setting. However, in some cases I have to quickly change between the two modes, so the hotkey method would be beneficial.
Thus, the question for developers remains: Could the change be reverted in a next version of imageJ?
Thanks!
Peter

Hi Peter,
I do not know the reason for the change, or wheter it will be reverted.
However if the problem is that you need to change the checkbox, here is a possible solution: you can record setting the checkbox and add the recorded macro line to the StartupMacros.txt file. That way it will be set when you start IJ.
In my setup case the line recorded for the Appearance submenu is:
run("Appearance...", "auto cancel menu=14 16-bit=Automatic");
The "auto" switch tells IJ that it should be checked.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
Gabriel
