When I was trying out some programs on Open COBOL IDE earlier, the window suddenly changed out of nowhere. The whole top row of tools was gone. Then, the bottom block for the command interface went missing, and could only be restored with f5. However, the the section to the right where the file organization is usually laid out also disappeared. I've tried rebooting my system and performing a fresh install, yet these problems(and my settings oddly enough) have remained. Does anyone know how to bring back the menus I'm talking about? Attached is a snip of my screen.
wait, there is an option to restore the default settings completely, which eliminates any and all preferences. Right click on the top section of the window right below the path name and hover over the bottom option.

This sounds like some focus/zen mode, is check the docs or press random function buttons to try resetting it before resetting every option.

Funny thing, I dont think the documentation was ever finished. The help link just leads to a page under construction, and since the project is dead I dont think it'll ever be finished. Also, mu random buttons did not work.

The help is not generated as scrollable and indexed html, but it is still in the source and rendered by GitHub, see https://github.com/OpenCobolIDE/OpenCobolIDE/tree/master/doc/source - and by chance I've seen the focus mode (called "minimal view") on the second look: https://github.com/OpenCobolIDE/OpenCobolIDE/blob/master/doc/source/tipsandtricks.rst#switching-between-classic-view-and-minimal-view
I see, thanks!
