jeffers Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I had a problem the other day which was because I hadnt checked the "show context toolbar" in view settings. Now I've lost the status bar....the one on the bottom when you select a tool - for example the clone brush - that tells you to alt click to select an area. Help!

Staff Dan C Posted February 11, 2022 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi @jeffers, It's possible that you've used the 'Toggle UI' shortcut accidentally, as I believe this is the only way to hide the status bar. To return this please navigate to View > Toggle UI or alternatively use the TAB key. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

It's on by default, so probably as Dan C suggested you had accidentally toggled the complete UI via the Tab key, and then restored items piecemeal rather than just using Tab again.

I think that's a fairly common scenario when users don't know about Toggle UI. We frequently see questions about some UI element "X" being missing, and the temptation is to say "just use View > Show X" when the better answer is "Perhaps just press Tab again", as there is probably more than X missing that the poster just hasn't noticed.
