[3DSMAX] Color picker/selector disappeared / does not open anymore)

OccultMonk

The color picker from the material editor was working, then suddenly it does not open/is not visible anymore when I double-click a color value. I was using Corona Color picker, but resetting to the default does not help.

I know most of the 3Ds Max windows can be reset with maxscript (3dsmax.ini file). But how do you reset the color picker/selector window?

Do you have 2 monitors? Maybe it`s hidden on the 2nd monitor.

OccultMonk

Thanks, I have 2 monitors. It is already working again. I don't know what happened. 

LaurentiuN

Max glitches probably.

Now it stopped working again. But when I start a second program instance on another virtual desktop it works on that version but not on the first.

Sorry to bump this again, but this remains a very strange problem. I Get the color picker everywhere (Wirecolor, Layer colors...) But when I double click on a color selector in the Material Slate Editor it does not work. I do not get a color selector.  (But sometimes in another instance of 3dsmax it does work)

@OccultMonk maybe the problem is because of the virtual desktop? I never used virtual desktop so maybe that`s the problem, shut down all virtual desktop, restart windows and give it a try....
