Keep losing icons in toolbar (Linux)

Question

Is there a reason I keep losing icons in the toolbar? I have my “Editable” text selected, and I’m down to four: open source language text, parallel passages, send/receive project(s), and paratext live. Other times I have: a USFM drop-down list, cut, copy, paste, find, and spell check. A bug, or by design?

Can you post a screenshot?

I think I’ve learned something in the process of getting the screenshot…

When I open the project’s “Notes list…”, it becomes the active panel (despite the title bar not turning blue…), and the number of available icons is reduced. Fair enough (except for the title bar behaviour). However, when I close the “Notes list…” panel, and I click back into my editable project, the icons aren’t restored, nor is the title bar turned blue. I first have to click to an open Text Collection (whose title bar turns blue), and then my editable project–at which point its title bar turns blue and the number of available icons increases.

Yes, similar issue here with switching between open PT panels, tabs, windows, etc. We finally discovered that clicking on a different verse in any project or resource causes loss of focus to all windows. I have to click on the verse I want in a window that I do not want in focus, and then click the same verse in the project I want, to get the focus (blue title bar). It is very consistent once we figured out the pattern.

Joshua,

I do not expect to see him… Besides it is too late as I leave in a few hours.

Thanks for the tip, KimB! Have you reported this (other than here)?
