Opening Component Properties window bug ?
« on: March 12, 2013, 01:05:59 am »
Hello gentlemen, I have some problem with Altium 9.4.020159 on Windows 7.
When I try to open component properties window, nothing happens. Active window of Altium fades and becomes inactive and it looks like it waits until I do changes in Component Properties, however I DO NOT see it. When I press ESC, it comes back to active.
Same behaviour when I move component and then press TAB or Right Click and select Properties in the menu.
Every other dialog window works and it also works for objects like Texts, Lines, Rectangles. Component Properties is the only does not work.

Anyone have some clue ?

Thank you and regards Ondrej

Sounds like the window is off screen somewhere (different monitor).  Have you changed your monitor setup?

Yes, I tried different resolution, switch screens, unplug the second screen, run Altium maximized, minimized, open it in little window if Properties isn't opened behind the Altium window.
It seems to Properties do not open at all. :-//

This happens only for Component.
Ports, Lines, anything else works allright.

// I also tried to set everywhere default settings. I am afraid that I will have to reinstall Altium, perhaps I should try newer version if I don't solve this in reasonable time. |O

Maybe login to Altium Live and update?  You do own a legal copy of Altium don't you?
