17679	Feedback & Issue with ChimeraX1.9	shantanukhatri007@…	Eric Pettersen	"{{{
Dear ChimeraX Development Team,

First and foremost, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the
incredible tool you have created. ChimeraX has been an invaluable resource,
and I truly admire the effort and dedication that goes into its development.
Recently, I’ve encountered an issue with the interface. In previous
versions, I used to see the log, models panel, and toolbar automatically
upon startup. However, after installing the newer stable build of ChimeraX,
now I need to open them manually each time. Additionally, when I do so, the
toolbar section occupies excessive space, and the alignment of the logs and
models makes them almost unreadable and difficult to use.Additionally, it
is no longer possible to drag and align the toolbar, log, and models panels
as in previous versions, making it difficult to customize the interface to
my preference

I wanted to check if this is a known issue with windows users or if there
might be something I am missing. I have tried reinstalling multiple times,
and I am using a high-end laptop with an Intel Ultra 9 processor, ample
RAM, and a powerful GPU. Despite this, the problem persists.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance on resolving this. Thank you once
again for such a fantastic tool—I truly enjoy using it!

I have also attached few screenshots for your kind perusal.

Best regards,
