bizarre: navigator window disappears when I click on drawing

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm on an Intel Mac running Acad 10 updated. Bizarre, when I click anywhere on my drawing, the Navigator Window disappears. I cannot figure out how to prevent this from happening. Anyone heard of this?

If you were using AC9...I'd say it was this.
In 10 ... no guess.

Seems like exactly the same problem, but in 10 there is no pin button (as you know). Couldn't find a similar type button. Strange...

Just got this from support,

From the navigator menu, do you have selected the autohide function? This menu can be accessed by right clicking in the navigator window. If this function is set and the window is not docked, it will disappear when clicking on something else.

That's exactly it. The Navigator and the Organizer have autohide capabilities. Just right click anywhere on them, (except inside the pane) and it will be at the top of the context menu. The autohide icon may be confusing, but according to Graphisoft the autohide button is a "command" button, therefore it shows what will happen (but the rest of the buttons in the context menu are "status" buttons, which show what is happening right now).

Cheers,

you guys are geniuses, just tried it and it works. Must have somehow right clicked on it at some point and selected the autohide without really seeing it. Didn't even know you could right click on the palette and have options. Thanks a ton, needless to say this was bugging me!
