cube IDE flipping out

[sgordon777]

This IDE has gone into some crazy mode where each window maximizes itself on the screen/. I've tried clicking every single maximize/minimize/restore button, closeing the app, restarting the computer.....

This worked and suddenly broke.

Is there some way to make this thing reset back to it's default state?

Have you tried resetting the perspective (Menu item - Window / Perspective / Reset Perspective...)?

Hello @sgordon777 

First let me thank you for posting.

Could you please provide more details about the STM32CubeIDE version that you are using and your OS.

As mentioned by @CTapp.1 :Go to Window in the menu bar. Select Reset Perspective. This will reset the layout to its default configuration and if the issue persists try switching to a new workspace: Go to File > Switch Workspace > Other...

Double clicking in free area on top of window doesnt restore it ?

That's worth a try - it does normally. If it doesn't, it's worth trying to reset the perspective.

This did it, thanks

No, it didn't for me. Thats the first things I tried since I know that double clicking this border area can decouble windows.

I fixed it with "reset perspective" option above

CTRL+M = Maximizie active View or Editor

The root-cause is as you said probably a double-click on a border area or using CTRL+M.

You can of course do a "perspective reset". But an easier fix (less impact on your perspective tweaks) is to hit CTRL+M again to untoggle maxmimization.
