Screen Designer - "Design page screen control" seciton disappears

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

RDP version 8.0.3.1

* I open a DSPF member with read only access
* I check the option for ?Design screens?
* Choose my screen ?group?
* Click on the Source tab
* The click back to the Design tab

I lose the ability to switch between ?Design records? or ?Design screens? and the selection of records. It basically a big blank area.

I can adjust the size of that section with the sizing cursor.

If I click anywhere within that newly blank area it acts like I clicked on the hide icon.

It seems to happen on screens designed in Code Designer or Screen Designer.

In the tool bar above the design area where the file and format name is put, it now only shows the format name of the first record in the design screen group set.

Opening the DSPF for edit does not create this condition


Use Case:

I defaulted the open of DSPF's to the Screen Designer tool so that I can review, in production source, screens with capabilities I might want to incorporate or for debugging purposes.

    There must have been an add in that was causing the problem. I ended up removing all installs of RDi & RDP and then re-installing RDP 8.0 only. This now seems to have corrected the problem. DSPFs now open in browse mode and the above issue is not seen.

    Please close this issue.
