VectorStyler 1.2.034Problem: UI Redraw / Refresh Problem - Docked panels missing
Problem repeatable with any document in version 1.2.034. Problem has been present for a number of releases but has now gotten worse. In the past I was able to click on the document / canvas and the panels would then appear. This has now stopped working.
I can get the missing panels to show by clicking on the area where they should appear but if you minimize the app again they will disappear.
Steps
- Start the app and UI shows as you would expect. (Screenshot 1).
- Click File > New Document (Screenshot 2).
- Minimize the app to dock.
- Click app icon in dock. - App appears with missing docked panels. (Screenshot 3).
Attached are the screenshots, Panel Missing.zip.0_1721829667216_Panel Missing.zip

@MWK I opened a bug on this. I cannot replicate it yet, but I will try on macOS Ventura also.

Hi:
Any estimate on when this will be fixed. It has already been 30 days.
For me the application is unusable.
I did not realize when I purchased this that it was really primarily a Windows only application. At least that is how it appears.Regards,

@MWK Hi, this bug is still open, the app is primarily developed on MacOS, but I could not replicate this error with those steps.
What happens if after restoring the app, the window is resized manually ?
One thing to try is to reset the workspace and settings by removing the workspace and settings files.

@MWK This could also be a refresh problem: after restoring the app window from the dock, try switching away with command+tab and then back.
Let me know if that redraws the UI correctly.
I will try to find a solution for this for the next build.

I am not sure how to do this. Are instructions in the documentation?

@MWK In the Help menu there is a Reveal Workspace Folder command that opens the folder where the settings / workspace files are stored.
But exit the app before removing these.
Also, please try the command+tab refresh step I sent earlier, it will help me identify the issue.

The above seems to have fixed the docked panels problem. However, other problems with the UI remain.
Thanks for your assistance.
I will do some screen recordings and post those tomorrow. I think that will help you see what is happening.

@MWK This issue should be fixed in build 1.2.038
