Adjustment panels wont stay on screen

[tallonius]

Hi,

In Photo 2 I'm using adjustments on an image, but when I click on the layer thumbnail to get the adjustment panel to appear (so I can make some changes), it just blinks then disappears.  I've just upgraded to the latest version - 2.2.1 - and I've never had this before, so maybe it's a bug?  Or is there a setting I need to change? 

I've attached a video clip showing what happens (no sound).

You don't use a multi-monitor setup there or? - If so, then panels possibly did lost their modal stay on top characteristics here.

Yes, I use two monitors - but how would that affect it?  And why is it only happening now (after the latest upgrade)?

How do I fix this?

Maybe the panel popups on the second screen instead, you have to check.

Possible settings mismatch from version to version, or the like, or a bug, who knows. - You can try out if resetting app settings might maybe with chance does change that behavior here ...

Hi @tallonius,

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm this is known issue with Adjustment dialogs when using 'Floating' document tabs, whereby the Adjustment controls are drawn behind the 'floating' canvas window.

Please navigate to Window > Arrange > Dock All, which will stop the canvases from 'Floating' over the UI and display the adjustment dialogs as expected.

I hope this helps

yes, that's fixed it - thanks!
