Can't see any of the windows in Publisher (V2 working on macOS Sonoma 14)

[andcicco]

If I open Publisher V2 in my Mac, the window kind of hides and I can't find any way to see it. This makes it impossible to work... I can see it in Mission Control but can't work in it since it hides and goes "out of screen" if I click on it....

Welcome to the forums @andcicco,

I would initially suggest trying the Window > 'Zoom' option along the top menu bar with the photo app open to see if that restores the app window. If it doesn't try resetting your user app defaults/windows by following the below:

1. Close all Affinity apps
2. Hold down CTRL and launch Photo 2 while still holding CTRL
3. A 'Clear user data' menu will appear with 3 ticked boxes, press 'Clear' at the bottom right
4. The app will now launch with a (hopefully) restored and functional window

There's a known issue in 2.2.0/1 with disconnecting/reconnecting an external monitor between app sessions causing the app window to disappear, do you use a Macbook/External Display(s)?

Thank you for replying.
Yes, I'm using a MacBook with external displays.

The Window>'Zoom' thing actually did the magic and solved it... can't thank you enough!
