Help Line is missing from UI

Anonymous
Not applicable

How can I get back the Help Line from the bottom of my screen? My drop down menu shows that it is active but it's nowhere to be seen. I think it happened after I increased the size of my timeline and later changed it back.

 

It's not a huge deal, but it's really annoying not being able to read the descriptions for the custom controls I created.

Hi!

 

Reset Current Workspace.

 

If this doesn't help either,

try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

Thanks for your help. This is better than resetting all settings
