Yes, you should get a window with small icons of all of the different available tubes. While the arrow is tiny, if it is partially hidden then that indicates to me that your toolbar is somehow distorted. If your toolbar is customized and you are using that customized version and have that saved as a Workspace, I would suggest that you select another workspace (like the Default one) and see if you can access the tubes with it. If you can, then go back and select your customized Workspace and reload it and see if it shows the arrow properly and if you can now access the tubes with it.

I finally got it work. It took several minutes but the tubes display finally came up.

Thanks to you and everyone for their help.

I think the first time you click on the arrow for tubes or patterns , PSP may take a bit of time to load the tubes / patterns and it is not instantaneous.

Also I just found that you don't have to click on the arrow, clicking on the image showing will also produce the drop down listing and it did so from way back at Jasc PSP8 as well. Amazing , still learning new things about PSP.
