Project Browser missing

Post by owenmck » Tue Jun 04, 2013 6:03 am

I am asking for help to find the Project Browser.
The Project Browser window should be visible when a user selects Tools > Project Browser. It is not. I suspect it is simply not visible or it is hidden but I cannot seem to force it to appear by clicking that menu item. The other elements appear/disappear on demand via the Tools menu, but not the Project Browser.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling LC

LiveCode Community Edn version 6.0.1
running on Windows 7 64bit

Any chance you were running dual screens at one point?
There was an issue of LC not relocating tools back to a single screen (I think).

Yes, dual screening at 2 different locations (home / work)! I'll search for solutions to "not relocating tools back to a single screen" ... do you recall what the fix is? Thanks

I don't recall a fix, you should bug report it.
I guess you have to move it before you leave the second screen.

Yes, shall do. thanks again.
I found The Mysterious Disappearing Tools Palette which looks kind of related, but not.

Fantastic. :) Many thanks for coming up with this workaround!

FYI I reported the bug by:

1. Starting at: the Livecode website
2. Click: Support, in the menu
3. Select: Report a Bug
4. Click the link: quality control center
5. Select: Search (to make sure it hasn't already been dealt with)
6. Select: New from the menu, if you did not find an equivalent item.
7. Fill in the form, as usual.

The bug report is titled "Project Browser disappears in dual screen"
