Window Docking Issue

Some time ago I was having problems with the UI grid legend displaying correctly when using a 4K screen on my laptop. After a lot of playing around I managed to resolve this during which I used the default reset quite a bit.

I now have the problem that I cannot get my windows to dock as I would like - specifically I want the Cuts/Layers tab top right and Laser tab bottom right.

What I find is that only the console tab will initiate the blue docking area in the top portion, none of the other tabs can be docked.

The 2 screen prints show the problem and no matter where I move the window to in the top area only Console brings up the blue docking area.

Have looked through the many posts without finding a solution so any ideas welcome!

What happens if you execute Window->Reset to default layout?

Remember I had tried this before but I wish you hadn’t asked as I needed to get screen prints to explain and it takes ages to get it back to the state reported above!

OK - initially it looks as if it helps but note that the bottom part of the Cut/Layer tab is lost (interval field)

Trying to move the top panel to the bottom and there is total confusion…

When you try the reset a second time, you get a single pane rather than a split pane…

Resetting a third time gets to the previous state but now you lose the bottom of the bottom panel…

By moving everything out of the top pane then moving the console back, I get back to the situation as for the previous post which is at least workable though not what I like.

In addition I am finding, as others have reported, I need to flip between non-maximised and maximised for the main window to get the screen to format correctly.

It’s a shame cos I love this software!

What do you have your screen resolution set to?

While I understand you asking the resolution should not affect why a docking window should be available for one panel and not another.

But to answer your question it is 3840 x 2160 and I have no intention of changing it. I spent weeks playing around with resolutions when I had the original problem of the legend not displaying correctly!

I was asking because there have been problems with low resolution.
It was a simple diagnostic question.
Sorry for wasting you time. (and mine)
I’m out of this one.

Thanks for responding Mike. Appreciated.
