Collapsed interface panels

[Tintart]

Hey

I do have a problem that is very annoying. Every time I launch the Illustrator, all the panels are collapsed. They are visible, but the content of them is hidden. I have to click on every group name to see it's content again. Selecting any other function from tool menu, hides the content again. Also the right menu is always changing the size, so it is very random how the items are displayed. I've tried to reser preferences, reintall program, create interface profiles, and so on. Nothing helps.

Any idea, how to make the interface always visible?

In addition I can say, that it does not matter if I am working on my or on predefined layout:

Tintart,

Can you change the width of the panel, and if so, what happens if you do?

[Tintart]

Yes, I can resize them, no problem. Nothing changing then unfortunately in terms of their content - they stay empty.

Hi Tintart,

Did you try resetting the preferences? If not, please do and then check. See : How to set preferences in Illustrator

Regards,

Om

As I described in original post - yes, I was trying to reset preferences. Currently I am working back on version 2014, which brings me confusion - why the hell I should pay for software that does not evolve, and only bring problems?

This problem occurs on different versions of Windows operating systems (7-10),

on different versions of Illustrator CC (CC-CC2018),

it seems that it is chaotic.

It is unclear why this happens, on what it depends.

This is very unpleasant and uncomfortable ((

It looks like you have a workspace crated called "Layout". What happens if you click on the workspace button and choose "reset workspace". This is not normal behavior obviously but there's something unique to your system that is causing this. If resetting the preferences didn't solve it, we need to look elsewhere.

Nothing happens then, I mean it is swithing back and forth to the collapsed panels.
