Color blocks pushed off of the screen

I am using the current Lightburn on a Windows 11 laptop with a single display. I was trying to make a manual test strip to see how my laser worked with blue tape. Therefore, I was just making a box and engraving at various powers. This meant that I would make a box and create a layer, and then link it to a material setting, and then repeat.

The only way I know of to make a new layer is to draw something, select it, select one of the color blocks at the bottom, and if it is a new color then an entry will appear in layers.

But I would draw my box and the colors at the bottom would be gone. Generally I could get them to reappear by leaving full screen mode and then reentering it but once I had to restart lightburn.

If I had to guess at what is happening, I would guess that the drawing area is resizing when I try to draw on it, and that the calculation that says how much to resize the drawing area is bugged; it is pushing stuff off the bottom of the screen, and that calculation is being redone when I shift out of and back into full-screen. I believe that parts of other sub windows are also being pushed off of the window.

I saw a similar question in the forums here that went unanswered for 30 days.

Is this just a bug? Is it intentional? Can I turn it off, or at least force the area back on to the screen?

See if this helps.
