Fix grayed out windows

Hi, I reported this bug to the dev team more than 6 months ago. It is still not fixed, so I post it here hoping that your votes will increase the priority of fixing this bug.

While working on a model, have you already got a grayed out library panel like below ?

Or, the 3D view becomes grayed out like below ?

Or with any other window... sometimes even the whole workspace.

In the gif below, here is an example: I get an error in the console, I close the system console, then the left panel is grayed out.

My Windows display scaling level is at 100%, and I get grayed out windows from times to times.

For users who work with a windows display scaling level >100%, for example 125%, unfortunately this occurs much more frequently.

If you want to reproduce the steps, in your Windows display settings change the scale to 125%:

Reopen FlexSim.

Open the attached model Grayed window.fsm.

Reset and Run, then Stop. Close the System Console. The model view is grayed:

Actually, it's not always exactly repeatable. If I repeat the same steps as above, sometimes the 3D view is still fine, but the left panel becomes grayed:

And sometimes the windows also reload correctly.

If you have already got grayed out windows, please vote on this post.

Thanks for pointing this out Clair - it was very simple to reproduce this effect - although I had not noticed it before today. I'd like to add that additionally sometimes a block of icons in the menu bar are also missing:

The first time it happened it was the model/open/save icons and the second time the connection icons as shown above - for which opening the default workspace does not provide a fix.
