I am using Tools/Text, i choose a location to start the leader, place the text and edit. Click on next location for next Text input and it won't choose a location until i choose a location, Esc, choose again, Esc and then it works.
Further more if i just add one text and a leader and then choose to draw a line the ability to choose where to start the line is missing and untill i, for instance, change Scene and back again that resets the snap.

Some people have had success with working around this issue by making sure Enable Scene Transitions is ticked in Model Info/Animation.

Brilliant - this worked - was driving me crazy and i had tried everything!

I am being plagued with crashes since upgrading to Windows 11.
Here i another one.
Using the scenes tab at top of drawing - Add a scene to the existing scene and rename the scene.
Return to the previous scene by clicking the previous scene tab and BUGSPLAT. Works every time and took me a long time to realise the problem.

I have just loaded a drawing that was several years old and noted the reminder that poped up.
There was not problem in displaying the 3 'trays' on my second screen.
The workaround to opening my recent drawings is to Hide each tray and to then to Show each tray

I have found a workaround. If i hide each tray and then unhide them it corrects the problem.

I gave it a quick test and it's working for me.
PC specs: 12th i9-12900K, 64 gb ram, 1 tb m.2 and RTX 3080. Win 11 Pro
Screen 1: Dell U3818DW (38" 4K curved wide panel) and Screen 2: Dell S3219D (32" 1440 wide panel)

I perhaps should elaborate.
I have the main drawing open on screen 1 and the trays on screen 2. In fact when I first open a drawing the trays are frozen and the only way to get things going is to delete and reinstall the trays.
Brand new DEll XPS 8960

I have upgraded to Windows 11 and use dual monitors.
I am using the second screen to display my 'Trays' 3 of them.
On loading a drawing the trays don't fully display and some of the dialogs in the tray are shown blacked out. See attachment.
I can rectify this each time I load a file by deleting and re-installing the tray.

Each version of SketchUp installs as a separate program. It doesn't overwrite the previous version. When I migrate to a new version I make a screen shot of the previous version showing my toolbar arrangement. Then I import that image into the new one to use as a reference for placing my toolbars. Makes it easier to see what goes where. I also use it as a time to do some cleaning to get rid of tools I don't really need on my toolbars.

I understand and that is what I do. However even though I am fairly proficient with SU Prro it really puts me off updating my software.
Needs a rethink.

Whenever I update my Sketchup Pro software i loose all my personal Toolbox setup and icons and i cannot find a way to restore the layout.
