I have just downloaded the TechCommSuite updates an I am running FM 2017 on Win10 64-bit.

How can I rotate the graphics toolbar so that is is horizontal instead of vertical. Dragging it to the toolbars attaches it, but it is still vertical and so takes up half the screen?

Thanks.

The graphics toolbar in FrameMaker (2017 release) is a vertical-only toolbar like in other Adobe applications (PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign).

That's where I'm entirely unclear on interface changes—what's a feature and what's a bug.

I will note, Stefan, that while I prefer the vertical toolbar (and really like the slimmer profile in 2017), I notice a lot of my advanced students routinely dock the graphics toolbar horizontally, under the quick access bar.

You are right. It doesn't rotate anymore, that I can see, at least.

You might log that in as a feature (restore) request:

Adobe tech support had a look and couldn't get it working either.

They are checking.

My observation after two weeks on 2017 is that we have lots of good improvements but there a few features are no longer working as expected. I made a list when I taught last week—almost all of items on my list relate to the interface. In theory, no big deal except that we use the interface every day and we like to have it working as expected. I'm going to go log in my list now, and will add yours, as well. Thanks!
