jackamus Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I am unable to drag the Quick FX tab to a another position as I can't get at the bar at the top as it is just off the top of the screen.

v_kyr Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 That's an already known problem (bug) under macOS with a two monitor setup.

You can see the collapsed Gaussian Blur Quick FX below it but nothing above Colour.

jackamus Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Yes I did try View>Zoom>Zoom in but all it did was to enlarge my main monitor. All my pallets and tabs are on the 2nd monitor. I tried dragging my pallets and tabs onto the main monitor and then selecting Quick FX and it partially appeared but only on my 2nd monitor. I can't get it onto my main monitor.

I don't currently have access to 2nd monitor but i will tomorrow when i'm back in the office, so i'll get the same setup going and be able to help further Of course, someone else might be able to help resolve this before then.

I could disconnect the 2nd monitor and set up my pallets ect on the main monitor and open up Quick FX. Having done that I could then reconnect my 2nd monitor and drag everything over onto it and see what happens to Quick FX. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

LOL I changed my 2nd monitor to 'Mirror' my main monitor and all the pallets and tabs appeared on my main monitor. I then was able to load Quick FX which when it appeared was way higher up the screen than all the others. I dragged it down to line up with the others. Next I removed the 'Mirror' setting and dragged everything back to the 2nd monitor. Everything is now OK. The original problem with Quick FX was that it was too high up the screen and therefore impossible to move. Was this the reported bug? 2 hours ago, stokerg said: Try clicking View>Zoom>Zoom in even have the lower part of the QuickFX panel - just a large black rectangle.

Ron P. Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I recommend creating a Studio Preset for your two monitor setup. See the online help for Creating Studio Presets That way if/when this happens, you can reset everything back to the default, just by going to Windows>Studio>Reset Studio. After resetting, you can easily get back to the setup you had by going to Window>Studio> and selecting the Preset you created.
