Variable Watch List in Extra!

[jdpottle]

My Variable-Watch List Window has disappeared. I can click on the button or the menu item to ask it to appear but it doesn't show up. The Macro Window greys out as if to go into the background but the Variable-Watch List is nowhere to be seen. It's as if it's invisible. Has anyone ever had this happen before? Can anyone think of a solution? I use this tool all the time when I'm debugging macros in Extra! so I'd really like to get it back. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

1. Be sure the macro editor is open and the watch window on is selected.
2. Minimize all open windows.
3. Change your monitor settings so that more area is displayed on the screen.

This will bring the watch window back up on the screen. Be sure to move it to the center of the screen before you put your monitor settings back.

I tried your solution, but unfortunately I'm already at the highest resolution for my monitor so I can't go any higher. I really thought it was going to work, though since it makes sense that the window is off the screen. I tried going down to 800x600 before opening the watch window and then going up to 1024x768 but this didn't work either. Do you have any other suggestions? Is there any way to see windows that are off the screen? Thanks

Try getting rid of all toolbars and such on your screen. sometimes it's just under the bottom task bar on your screen.

I found it!!! I did an auto-hide on my task bar and I saw just a glimmer of it peeking out. I moved my cursor down there and it turned into a resize cursor. I resized it and there it was!! Thanks so much for your help!!!
