Develop Module - Panels disappear

  • February 5, 2017

When I move from the LIBRARY Module to the DEVELOP Module, top right, all the side panels disappear.

I have to click on the LIBARY Module in the MENU - WINDOWS then back onto DEVELOP and I get the Panels back. Anyone experiencing this or know how to sort it?

    If you are running LR 2015.8/6.8, there is a known bug in the Mac version that makes the side panels go blank going into Develop. You can get them back by hitting G followed by D to go back and forth between Library and Develop. I would expect it to get fixed in the next version that from remarks on this forum by Adobe employees appears to be near or you can roll back to 2015.7/6.7.

    This problem is not solved! I am running LRCC 2015.9 and several times today when I hit D to go to the Develop Module, both of the side panels disappear. No key commands work to bring them back, I have to quit LR and restart. This is a real PITA, and is hindering my work. Please fix this ASAP.

    I am on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.3. I did not have this problem with LrCC 2015.8.

    That's the tricky part about this intermittent bug. Lots of people did have the problem in 2015.8.

    Adobe says they're still working on it.

    I'm experiencing the same problem. We could do with a fix asap Adobe, until now I've been shutting down and restarting LR each time. I'll try the G-D trick. Thanks.

    The G then D trick did not work for me.  Are there any other suggestions, besides restarting Lightroom, which is an aggravation each time.  Thanks

    If that doesn't work, only other solution is to roll back to LR 2015.7/6.7

    You may have hidden the panels. Pressing the Tab key will bring them back or the View menu item or a mouse/cursor roll over near the edge of the LR screen will make them Pop Out.

    Or it could be the bug where the panels go all black.
