Game Board Window Vanished

Not sure what I did if I triggered this (I feel like maybe I did?) but the game board window (across all modules) seems to have vanished. It seems to flicker into and out of existence at the launch of a given module, but I’ve no way of getting it back once it’s flickered off.

Feel free to chastise me for not finding a preexisting thread on this, but I looked a bit tonight and found nothing.

Thanks in advance!

Is the divider between the chat pane and the map all the way at
the bottom of the window?

J.

Ouch! No idea how that happened. Is there maybe a hotkey I tripped? Many thanks, regardless.

No, what you’re seeing is Bug 1921:

vassalengine.org/tracker/sho … gi?id=1921

This has been irritating me for years now; I had thought it was due to a threading problem, but realized after finding a way to reliably reproduce the problem tonight that we’re setting the initial position of the divider to be a distance from the top of its parent component equal to 2/3 of the height of your screen. Hence, if you VASSAL window is not very tall, you don’t see the map.

Try a development build for 3.1.20:

Does the problem still occur for you?
