Question

Tools panel gets stuck off the edge of the screen

I have a recurring issue over the years where when I move from an external monitor to using my laptop. I lose my Tools Panel off the side of the screen. Somtimes there is a bit of the Tools panel showing and sometimes it is completly missing off the side. Using the menu and toggling its appearnce on and off does not solve it. Fullscreen mode does not solve it. Switching to another workspace does not solve it (nor has it helped to save a compact workspace just for the laptop). Are there any commands to pull Tools onto the screen? It's been an issue for so many years now, there should be some kind of solution.

What version of macOS and photoshop are you using?

 

Is your tools panel docked to the photoshop interface or do you have it free floating (undocked)?

 

Can you post a screenshot if possible?

Yes, thank you. The green button only affects the art window, not the Tools Palette.
