Vanishing toolbars, cannot restore

The toolbar with the green/red start arrows abruptly vanishes and I cannot restore it by changing to the default perspective, or unchecking/rechecking all of the items in View>Toolbars. Thanks.

I don't have such issue. Please tell use how to reproduce this bug? Thanks.

Otherwise, how can we fix this bug?

Which version of C::B do you use?

Hi ollydbg,

1. I use CB version 12.11

2. This issue tends to occur during or after a debugging session in which breakpoints were used. I cannot predict the exact conditions that cause it to occur.

3. It has occurred 3 times on two separate machines. Both Win 7 64 bit. One desktop one laptop.

Thanks!

Does it happen with 13.12rc2?

Can you check what is the active perspective after this happens? To do so go to View -> Perspectives -> The one with a check mark in front of its name is the active one.

Hi tpetrov,

The perspective is "Code::Blocks Default", although it still doesn't come back if I try to change to noe of the other perspectives.

I haven't tried 13.12rc2, ill DL it now and update later.

Hello again,

Upon upgrading to the RC (all my parameters, openCV directories, etc appear to have been preserved), I noticed that the "missing" toolbars are actually shifted so far the the right hand side that they went offscreen before. See screenshot:

I suspect the problem occurs due to my dual-monitor setup. Hope you find this update helpful.

Do you use C::B maximized on the two monitors?

What are the resolutions of the monitors?

Can you show full screenshot of before and after?

Does

View -> Toolbars -> Fit toolbars

or

View -> Toolbars -> Optimize toolbars

fix the problem? (available only in 13.12)

View->Fit toolbars in 13.12RC2 has completely fixed the problem :) Thanks so much!

Before (I dragged a few toolbars back manually, but debug is still missing)./After using Fit Toolbars:

Problems solved, but, to answer your other questions:

1. CB is maximized on one monitor. (the "main") one

2. The resolution of both monitors is 1600x1050

2a. Problem still occurs if using a different secondary monitor, or a different computer. Don't think a specific resolution is the problem.

At work I'm using two monitors with different resolutions, so I'm might be able to reproduce the problem.

But you'll have to depict the exact steps needed to reproduce it.

The best I can tell you is that I notice the toolbars vanishing immediately after having used breakpoints in a debugging session. I think it happens about 5% of the time. But, I know it has happened to me multiple times.
