Lost content in pull down menus

Post by loiselman »

Hi: I am new to using this program. I am using the demo program for the Mac and following the tutorial line by line. Somehow I lost access to the content in the pull down menus. I can see check marks but text has disappeared.

I was looking for a way to prevent the menus to the left from disappearing when the cursor moved away from the left side. I must have touched something but I don't know what. Please help!! I closed the project but when I opened a new project the problem was still there. Is rebooting the computer the next step? Thanks for your time.

What happens when you open TVP with the Startup Panel and select "New"?

Hello Loiselman and welcome on the TVPaint community.

Please, be careful and don't post in English in the French community. I'm going to move your topic in "Technical support" =)

Are you talking about the panel bin ? If so, you just have to click here :

You mean the top menu bar ?
That never happened !
Which version of MacOSX and TVPaint are you using ?
Quicktime is DEAD. Get over it and move on !

Paul, Elodie and Eric M.: Thanks for responding to my question. I closed the program and not just the file. When I reloaded it and went into "new", it reloaded with all the text in the pull down menus correctly displayed. I am using the demo program on a Mac Pro 10.4 with a dual processor running an older operating system. I appreciate the fact that I can ask questions and learn from Pros.

Elodie: Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
