Can not open property inspector

Post by ace16vitamine »

Dear all,

I can not open the property inspector. I dont know why, but if I click on "property inspector" no windows is opening with it.

If I remember right i had the same problem two years ago...

Mac OS, LC 9..6 Indy.

Hi Stefan,

sure the stack is not off-screen?
Check if it is open and if yes, check its LOC.


Best

Hi Klaus,

it is not off screen:

Code: Select all

set the location of this stack to 1280,753
no results, same problem. Ive checked it also with a backup, also no results.

With one inspector window open I get -> revPropertyInspector 1
as the name of that namely stack.
First -> put the openstacks
and then check if the Inspector is among the lines and note its number.

IDE components shouldn't do that. It might be worth a bug report that requests that the IDE check the location of the PI when it opens.
