The freeze extension answers a very real use case for me, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to persist the cell's status after closing the notebook and reopening it, or even when simply refreshing the page. This seems strange as the documentation indicates that the state is saved in the cell's metadata and should be preserved.
Moreover, I used the Edit cell metadata option to verify that the cell does indeed have in its metadata the settings that it should be frozen, namely-
{
"scrolled": true,
"deletable": true,
"collapsed": false,
"hide_input": false,
"editable": true,
"run_control": {
"frozen": true,
"read_only": true
},
"trusted": true
}
Yet it is not colored as frozen and indeed I can modify its contents after refreshing the page. Setting it as frozen again will work until I refresh the page again.
