Revit 2018 | Restore Down/Minimize window not working

Hello,

I'm using Revit 2018.3 on Windows 10, dual monitors setup. When I maximize a Revit view, the buttons will disappear to close / minimize / restore down in the top right corner. This happens on one view, while the rest of the open views still show the buttons. I know workarounds, but would like to know if anyone has a solution?

 

More info:

I use Revit 2016 - 2018 on this PC and only have an issue with 18.

Issue is with 2018.0 thru 2018.3

Screenshot attached.

Problem persists even after shutdown, resets, different files, etc.

 

Thank you for any help!

@Anonymous,

I'm not sure your attached screenshot is related to the problem you described above - did you accidentally attach the wrong screenshot?

 

Regards,

Lee

Thank you, I had issues posting, but below is the correct picture, thank you! The minimize view is missing at the top right of the view window.

I believe I've seen that happen before, but everything was back to normal after restarting revit and my computer.

Good morning! Looking at the image, it seems as though you might be using a widescreen monitor. Is this true? If so they often run at a different resolution that is known to cause issues. Please take a look at this article and let me know if it helps!

I just started to have this problem also.  It started yesterday but i hadnt done any changes to Maya in the recent past.  I first noticed it because my top menu bar will NOT display.  Then i started to notice the restore (middle) window controller button was opposite. Single square means full size, the double squares mean "click me and i will make the windows box full size"  THis is a BIG deal for me because i cant see the the menus EVER!  I also have two monitors and i have been tossing the windows back and forth as i get comfy with my new second screen.  THe issue is the same on both screens.restoredwn.PNG
