Nothing that I can see. It's possble that the latest version of VEP (7.3.3502) is snappier, but getting the Instrument window to show up still needs an extra click.
VSL has indicated that it's not a simple fix. I'm sure they're working on it.
There was a similar problem a few years ago with one update of pre-VST3 VEP7. Suddenly it was not possible to save instances with the automation window closed. But that was fixed quite quickly. I don't think there was ever a case of not being able to save an instance in pre-VST3 VEP7 with the instrument view showing. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. VEP7 is wonderful software.
