Crash when reloading project with component panel(s) auto-hidden

Post by **Steve-Matrix** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:54 am

We have received a number of crash reports that occur when project that are loaded or reloaded and the project was previously saved with component panels set to auto-hide. Auto-hide is when a panel is docked and the 'pin' is clicked to have the panel hidden at the side.

A fix for this will be available in the next core update which should be released in the next week or two.

In the meantime, if you have a project that crashes when you attempt to load it then you can either submit it here and I will fix it, or you can follow these steps to fix it yourself:

Make a backup of your Flowcode FCFX/FCSX file
Open the file in a text editor and scroll to the bottom
Look for this: PinState='1' IsMaximized='0' IsVisible='0'
Change it to: PinState='0' IsMaximized='0' IsVisible='1'
Save your modified file

You can set any other panels to auto-hide, but this is not supported for component panels and so it is best avoided.
