UV Editor Missing.

Hope my issue goes here.
So. I have set up new three screen workstation and, while most windows and toolbars appeared somewhat scattered but reachable, a window of UV editor (one opened from modifier rollout) is gone somewhere. There is a glimpse of window coming up after the first time you push "Open UVEd" button, and it is gone in a blink. Looks almost like its minimizing or something. And not showing up in consequent pushes for that modifier.

Question - how do i bring it back, it is kinda crucial. Some .ini to reset or obscure option?

Thanks in advance for any tips on topic.

Hey, Miya! Small world 😎

If it's actually opened, but somewhere outside of screen you can try to :
- open Edit UVWs
- press Alt + Space, DownArrow once, Enter
- now move mouse around without clicking
If dialog is there, it will be stuck to your cursor.

If it's somehow corrupt and doesn't open properly, you can try to backup your ENU folder and remove it from
%appdata%..\..\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\

Hey, DW, duuude! How kickin'?

Alt+Space thingie worked for me, except i choose maximize there and grabbed UV editor from there. At leas it wasnt something major.

Silly issue resolved, thank you. Still wandering why it happened specifically with that window, though.
