Hi Darrel,

By this do you mean that you cannot access the workspace or console to type things in them?

Because this happens to be from time to time. I find that if you close the console in the workspace and open it again via the view menu you should get back access to both. :)

Yes, this is the issue, I can not interact with the console for this workspace at all. I've even tried closing it and reopening it. Maybe I should try deleting the workspace and re-launching it.

EDIT: Yep that worked, don't know why I didn't think of that to begin with, good thing there wasn't any actual work in there yet lol.

To clarify a little, there was no dir shown, no blinking cursor, and clicking on it did absolutely nothing, basically a blank window but the rest of the workspace functioned just fine.

Don't delete your workspace. But if you save your work and then close and reopen it should return workspaces to its original state :)
