Hey!

I have been facing a problem with the window tabs. No matter which window is open, whenever I press on something else in the screen, the window closes. For example, when I work on the gradient tab, I try to eyedrop color. after I do, the window closes and I need to open it again to keep editing it.

Does anyone know why it happens?

Thank you 🙂

In the Preferences there is a setting that automatically minimizes the docked panels.

You may prefer to work with your panels expanded. If so, click on the double arrows in the upper right corner. This works on stand alone panels as well.
