Illustrator Bug: Pattern options window

Question

I have faced this bug in the newest and earliest illustator versions.
The pattern options window disappears everytime after use: (clicking the pattern icon to edit the pattern, and then going back, whilst the window is still active)
I know it's nothing more than an inconvenience,you can always put it back, but thats an endless task.

Hope they fix this soon.

@tamim_5988 I would do two things:

First, I would reset my Illustrator Preferences; Close Illustrator. Hold down Alt Control Shift (PC) or Option Command Shift (Mac) while restarting the app. It wipes the temporary UI instructions and if the Pattern Options window was "stuck" in a hidden state, this forces it to reset to its default "pop-up" behavior. It will also reset any custom settings back to it's default state as well!

Next, I would create a new Workspace. Move the panels the way you want it including the positioning of the Pattern Panel, Window > Workspace > New Workspace and name it "Pattern". By saving a workspace with that specific window is active, you are telling Illustrator that this is the workspace you want; At any time, you can now go back and hit reset workspace, and it will fall back into the same workspace as your created it
