maya 2018 hypershade

Hello guys, this question might be stupid but it's been bothering me. I recently upgraded to maya 2018, seems like I can't insert texture by clicking the icon on right side of the color channel. it's doesn't respond.

I have to connect the node in the node editor for everything. it is pretty annoying. is there anyone have same problem?

Works here, I'd try deleting prefs. I know I had issues where 2018 would try to pull from my 2016.5 user folder and make a big mess of things.

Thanks for the tip. I reset preference and deleted preference folder, but still.

I have a vague memory that I had to rename the whole documents\maya\2016.5 folder to keep 2018 from pulling the old prefs and scripts. Might want to try doing that, deleting your 2018 folder and then launching maya.

It might also be a multiple displays problem, with the window being offscreen for whatever reason.

Just to check, this is when you're trying to assign a new texture to an empty color slot, right?
