Toolbox and Object Manager cannot both be open together

Post by TvdS »

Hi there, I use dual screens when working on any media project. So with WYSIWYG 15 (and all versions before it) I use my left screen for the Site Manger Panel, The Object Manager and the Toolbox simultaneously. I have just noticed since loading 15.4.0 that you cannot have both Toolbox and Object Manager selected and open at the same time (in the View tab). Unless I am doing something wrong. I am sure I could have both open with prior versions.

It has nothing to do with the project you are working on. It is like that straight from a fresh start with only a blank index tab showing.

I am working around it by selecting first the Object Manager and then the Toolbox and toggling the Toolbox on and off. With Toolbox deselected the panel is an Object Manager and when Toolbox is selected then the Object Manager panel becomes a Toolbox.

If you select Toolbox first it opens normally, but then Object Manager is disabled. Does this even make sense? Or has my installation become corrupted?

Thanks for fantastic software! This little issue is only a minor irritation.

This is not WWB specific functionality, the behavior of windows, toolboxes etc was not implemented by me. It works as designed by Microsoft.

But this animation may be helpful.

Thanks Pablo. Removing the registry subkey 'BCGWorkspace' did the job. Everything went back to normal instantly!

Your fantastic support is really appreciated.
