Hello, All!

For some reason I am getting a display anomaly with CS2. I have my layers palette docked to the histogram palette. With histogram in expanded view things are as they should be (see below). However when I set the histogram in compact view I get the expanded information still trying to stay on the screen and interferring with the layers palette (also see below). Any ideas on fixing this?

Thanks,
Colonel Blip.

Did you try trashing/resetting preferences?

My XP settings were not the problem but your comment led me down a different path which is the problem. I had changed the PS options under General to use a UI font of Medium. When I s/d and restart I get an error message. If I shutdown and restart I don’t get the error message but the palette is messed up. So I go back to a UI font of small, s/d and restart PS and get the error message. I then again s/d and restart and no error and not the palette is not messed up. Sounds to me like a bug (or maybe a conflict?). Problem is recreateable each time.

I’ve attached the error message for info.

Thanks,

No. Since I went back to the small UI font I’ve not had the problem. When I get a chance I’ll try the other for ‘fun’ and reset the psp and UI font.

Thanks,
