Code editor window disappeared

Lajos Balázs

I double click on a file in the project explorer then the file should open in a code editor window. The code editor window is probably opened but it is not visible. The title bar of the CSS6 show “CSS Edit – [FileName] – Code Composer Studio” but the editor window itself is hidden. The Window/Navigation/Switch to editor dialog shows all of my open files but if I select a file and click Active Selected Editor the nothing happens. I also tried the Window Reset Perspective and another 100000 trick, including browsing this forum but I could not solve this problem. Somehow I need to reset the window positions but I could not find how and where I can do it.
I think the problem caused by me when I wanted to “Split windows” vertically but I do not remember exactly.
Thanks

    Louis,

    Another trick to try. Double click on a file in the project explorer. Now go to the Window menu and select Navigation -> Maximize Current View or Editor.

    The double clicking on a file should have made the editor active and then the maximize command should make it full screen. Then you would need to restore the other window areas. They will be listed as little toolbars along the outside.

    Regards,

    Hi JohnS,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I already tried that. It maximizes the project editor because when you double click on a file in project editor then you make the project editor to the active view. It might work if somehow you can make a code editor view to the active view. But how?
    Regards

    For me it actually does make the editor active. There are other options like switch to editor which should make it active as well but I am guessing you have tried that too. Your editor seems to be really gone.

    A couple more ideas.

    1) Go to Window -> New Window. This will open a new top level CCS window. In this one try opening source files. If that works then close the old one. I found a few people online having this issue in Eclipse 4.3 (which we use in CCS) and this worked around the issue for them.

    2) Have you tried a different workspace? If #1 doesn't work you could create a new workspace and see if it still suffers from the issue.

    No problem Louis. That was a strange one.
