Inventor 2020 Global Form No longer Opens

My company has used global forms to centralize a few key rules we use often.  We have multiple global forms that group together key rules.  For some reason, one (of course the primary one) no longer opens up the form with the buttons, but other forms still open. To my eye, I see no difference in how they are set up.  Below shows the global form for the groups.

Below shows the form for the group that will not open.

Is there anything that would prevent a global form from opening and displaying the buttons as normal?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

My guess would be that it might be opening off screen ?

 

Give the ALT +Spacebar trick a try, see this link for a better description of the steps:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Thanks for that tip, I am sure that will come in handy in the future!

 

When I went to try this, it opened on the first try, before using alt+space. Not sure what went wrong but it seems resolved now.
