Things disappearing from DP GUI

Post by LittleJJ »

A couple days ago the (processor/playback) Performance meters disappeared from my GUI of DP 9.1.
There is nowhere I can find an option for showing/hiding them. Previously, some of the options that used to pop up when exporting files moved To the left little by little each time I opened that page, until they disappeared. What on earth is happening? I am running the latest DP on a Mac 5.1 with 64 GB ram and 10.10.x (the last iteration of Yosemite).
Has anyone else ever watched their GUI morph and deteriorate over time?

Can't explain why it happened, but the GUI is NOT deteriorating. That's a pretty big assumption!

The preference changed. I'm going with user error...

Is your monitor deteriorating? Has the resolution been changed? Are you using consolidated windows?

I agree, it's impossible for the GUI to "deteriorate". It is entirely possible, however, to
inadvertently change a preference without really realizing it. Which is what is going on here.
