Layer Properties Manager all messed up

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 16:38:34 GMT

The layers manager is all messed up. I cannot see individual layers or properties in the Layer Properties Manager without individually clicking on where I think each one is. This happened in every drawing and is completely random to when it starts doing it. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy and killing productivity.

Hi @Anonymous,

I am sorry you are having problems with the Layer Properties Manager. It appears that you have just shortened the width of the dialog. Can you grab the left hand edge and enlarge it? If this isn't your question, I apologize. Please give me more detail so I can help you get up and running normally.

A Reset Settings to Default might also correct this issue for you.

Hover your mouse at the edge circled then drag away: remember to save your workspace when complete

john,

Thanks for the reply,

I'm not sure how else to explain it. The Layer Properties Manager will just randomly be scrambled when I try to scroll through it. If I expand the window, make it wider, it seems to make it worse. Shrinking it back down sometime helps solve it. As you can see in the screen shot most the layers read the same, The ones highlighted in blue are ones I clicked on which revealed what the layer actually is.
