For some reason while editing a texture if I click on any of the palette options, let’s say the color sliders, the editing window expands to the top of the screen and also beyond the bottom of my screen. I can’t get down to the bottom sections, they are beyond the bottom of my screen. If I drag the entire window down to the middle of my screen, in order to resize it, it pops back up to the top of the screen. The only way out is to close the window and lose my edits.
Extremely frustrating.
Any ideas?
Thanks

there is a bug with the mac material panel where if you double click on a material to edit it, the edition panel opens below the picking area. and because it’s a very long panel now, it’ll resize your panel accordingly, even if it means resizing it off screen.
it depends on your screen resolution and dpi, sometimes there isn’t enough space.
it’s logged as issue SU-59807
the workaround that was given to me at the time is to double click on the open material again, it should close it.
Another option is to double-click the title of the Colors palette. That will make it fill the screen area, and you can hopefully get to the Close button. You can then resize the palette from the bottom left corner, to get it back to a normal size.
Sketchup is transitioning the mac os interface to look more like the PC one. a single interface, same panels and all.
things like this bug are a problem, because the material panel is built on macos’s one. there are limit about what you can modify, and a single mac os update could well break it all.
