      I have recently started using SU 8 Pro (SU7 Pro before) on my Mac Pro

      I am puzzled by the appearance of the Entity Info window that is truncating/obscuring some information because the window is not tall enough and will not resize sufficently (see the screen shots). No such problem was/is experienced with SU 7

      I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

        Chris, can you pull the bottom of the Entity Info window box down to make the box larger and does that sort out the problem? What do you get if you click on the minus sign in the upper right corner of that window?

          Dave - It may be a mac version issue as I have noticed the same bug. It's (apparently) intermittent, and it resolves on 'reset workspace'.

          However when it appears, none of the normal window behaviour applies: you can't lengthen it with the corner handle, and though you can hide and show details, in either state it still doesn't show the cut-off part of the main entity info window.

          Seems related to the overall wonky palette/toolbar behaviour in SU, for which the 'reset' function is a bandage and not a fix.

            Dave,

            My problem was as dbll described - I am happy to say his advice to reset the workspace (for which many thanks) did the trick. It's not something I have ever had cause to do before - there's a first time for everything I suppose.

              Ah. I see. Well, glad that fixed it. I haven't run into that on my MacBook Pro...yet.

                  I just switched over to 8 yesterday and saw the same behavior as well.

                  I couldn't pull it down to reveal more of the pane.

                  When it next happens I will send in a bug report.

                  I created Dilbertville, sorry about that...
