Navigator window stuck at top of screen

Post by Fishmagoo »

This is a minor but infuriating problem with Painter 12, but the solution could be generic across Corel products and I didn't know where else to post this. I searched the knowledge base and found nothing. Basically the navigator pane is stuck at the top of the screen, and the small area at the top that allows you to grab it is 'pushed' off the edge of the screen rendering the window unable to be moved. Here's a screenshot: http://i53.tinypic.com/2mfb2mq.jpg Disabling the window and re-enabling it doesn't work, it always reappears in the same spot. Other windows, such as the layer and colour windows also will appear in the same spot when enabled. Selecting the default workspace doesn't work either. Nothing I've tried works. Please help, this is driving me nuts!

Welcome to the forums, :)

This is Corel Digital Media's forum that deals with VideoStudio, PaintShop Pro, DVD MovieFactory, PhotoImpact... most all of which were old Ulead programs. In fact this used to be the Ulead User to User Web Board..;)

There is forum setup for Corel Painter...

Levi had the solution in this post... http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 30#p222830

Hello Fishmagoo,

You can try resetting the Painter workspace, to reset everything. But this will also affect the brushes that you have. So better backup or save your brushes.

You can follow these steps: http://corel.force.com/index/articles/e ... -Workspace
