Photoshop Running but Project Window Disappeared

[eveliadesigns]

I am running PhotoshopCC 2017 and creating a project. Then I may check Mail, go to Numbers and enter some info. Perhaps go to Safari or the scanner or just some other application. I usually Option Click the desktop to hide Photoshop. Then I go back to Photoshop by clicking on the icon in my dashboard. Photoshop shows that it is still running but my project window is gone (hidden?). Nothing I do can bring it back. I check Spaces. No project window... How the heck do I bring it back without having to quit Photoshop? I tried "show all windows" and I get, "No Available Windows".

Hey guys, I have had this happen many a times. The only way around it is two ways. Hit a ton of keys tab, return, tab space. OR most likely your dialogue box is out of screen range . SO Learn the shortcut keys to moving a widow.

On windows its alt + space, then "m" , you can click immediately to select the top bar and MOVE the mouse around with the left button clicked and try to bring the window in yoru view. OR instead you can use ARROW keys to move it around hopefully back to the main window.

Hope it helps

CC 2019 - OSX Mojave

Stuck on one project view and clicking tabs does nothing. This is STILL happening in CC 2018 AND CC 2019. I just... I can't.. even..

I've reset preferences and had it still happen. In most cases relegated to having only one file open at a time so more time lost besides constantly having to troubleshoot all the other bugs whether related to Adobe or Adobe+OSX.

In addition, in Save For Web, after hitting save and choosing 'Other' in the 'Settings' drop down (e.g. if you want to uncheck "Put images in folder:") , the dialog box appears UNDER the file window, so if you don't know to drag your file window out of the way you end up with an unresponsive application.

After 20+ years as an Adobe customer I don't understand this company's approach anymore.

So, this is similar to the problem I've been having since CC 2017 (Now on 2019)...

I described it here: Re: Recurring problem - Open windows disappear on layer clicks

Today I had 4 pictures open, I like to work with 2 or 3 at sight, to compare colors etc... just so happened that something happens and all opened images just disappear when I click on a layer name in the layer tab. Also, the properties for a Levels (for example) adjustment layer ALSO doesn't show when I want to change the values.

Over in my topic I also had someone help with the "Turn ON/OFF" Application Frame over on the WINDOW MENU (for Macs)... and that temporarily fixes the issue, but it just happens AGAIN right after. The only way to fix it is by restarting Photoshop. Problem is: I lose A LOT OF TIME since I have several images open, a mindset workflow being interrupted and just have to start all over on what I was doing. It's terrible, terrible, terrible.

I have a Mac Tech formation also, so I'm trying to figure this out (if it IS some sort of conflict with 3rd party stuff).
But we really need Adobe to help out with this.

Probably most of us (if not all) experience this problem when working on external displays. I'm able to fix that by just disconnecting my external displays, then photoshop comes back to my mb pro, and then I can connect them back. I've noticed PS has various problems with sizing and position altogether. For me it always starts minimized on my 3rd screen on the very right edge of the screen, barely visible.

If I close all, a box appears in the lower right of the visible toolbar that reopens the project window
