Does anyone have this problem in P8 where in full screen the left-hand side is clipped making it difficult to see/locate the area collapse button?

Hi,

Check the bottom of the screen there should be a scroll bar.  Take the scroll bar all the way to the left.

Cheers

Terry

    Hi Terry,

     

    Yes, the scroll bar is as far to the left as P8 allows - by taking it out of full-screen mode then it does reappear but then you have to fiddle with the layout as you move between applications:

    I have the very same problem with Prime 6 in Draft View.

    The scroll bar as suggested by Terry won't help as the left side is clipped.

    You just may switch temporarily from "Draft View" to "Page View"  using the icons at the bottom right next to the zoom slider (wished there woul be a keyboard shortcut for this).

    Another workaround is to stay in Draft mode but change the zoom factor to a low value until the sheet don't take up the full width of the screen.
    I find switching the View from Draft to Page and then back again to be faster and less cumbersome.

     

    Are you using a highresolution (4K) display?

    Hi, Werner,

     

    Yes, I flip between these workarounds depending on mood. I am using a Dell Alien 17R PC with 3840x2160 resolution - playing with the other resolution settings does not change things. This problem is unique to P8 all my other applications work fine without clipping.

     

    Thanks

    I experience this problem on a notebook with a 4K display so I thought it might have something to do with screen resolution / windows zoom. Prime is also the only software I experience that kind of effect.
