I know that this topic has surfaced a few times before, and I am fully aware of the tricks to get the missing component, style, material etc. window back on the screen but they don't always work.

I have found that minimizing and maximizing Sketchup will randomly generate the 'missing' windows - sometimes for good and sometimes only momentarily.

Curiously, I have used this trick to make missing windows re-appear. However, occasionally when I click on any of their respective title bars (style, component, materials, entity info etc.) the others immediately disappear (even when they appear to be 'docked').

If I log on the computer as a different user, then open Sketchup, sometimes the missing windows (or some of them) re-appear. If I then log out and go back to my own login, re-open Sketchup - I might get lucky and one or two of the windows will be back on screen.

I really think this is a bug and should be taken seriously. It has caused hours of frustration, usually right before a presentation or when a client wants to see a tweak in the drawing.

For what it's worth, I am running an MSI K9 series m.b. with an NVidia chipset on a dual head PNY graphics card, AMD processor, 4Gig ram.

Please advise.

Thanks,
