resetting Form editor?!

#1

Hello guys, modo operators and pros.
it seems like i messed up my form editor,
i was trying to add a button, and i screwed up my form editor i guess! :S
what im getting is a menubar with two file menus, two edit menus… two select menus etc…
a pair of each menu. what is this ??
when i try to mark or unmark those menus in form editor in order to delete them, they’re either both selected, or both unselected. the delete button is also not highlighted. i simply cannot delete them, or keep one menu of each.

another problem consists of an error with popups, dropdown menus… popovers… everything! whatever the type of a menu is, i can’t seem to let my finger off the LMB, i must keep my finger on the left button, or else the menu will disappear! how can you explain this??

i uninstalled and reinstalled modo, i cleaned all registry entries and keys with several registry cleaners etc… still with the same problem!

can somebody help me please ?is there a way to reset the form editor to its original case?
many thanks in advance

thanks for your help my friend… but i’m afraid im still stuck with the same problem. :sad:
the " revert layout " thingy didn’t work.
Please check the photo attached below.
As you might have already noticed, if i click on File menu, in Form Editor > Menu bar, the second duplicate file menu is automatically selected, if i try to delete on of them, the delete button is not highlighted, i can’t delete both of them as well, if i rename of of them, the second one is renamed with the very same name. :sad:

im running outta tricks here… what do you think i should do allankiipli? is there some kinda script embedded in Modo folder that i can run to revert the program to its original state? this is real frustrating :shrug:

it’s back to normal again! thank you my friend :thumbsup:
i always miss this application data hidden folder thing.

You haven’t by any chance saved the form and then done an import config of that form? I suppoise this would be eliminated if you started with a fresh config file, but If you do this it will enter a line at the top of your Modo.cfg file pointing to an external file. I don’t really think this is your problem but you may want to open your config file and look at it in a text editor. it will be right there at the top.

I think just this: disable the ‘exported’ (the ‘X’) flag; else i cannot help;

Editing manually .cfg files is risky i think, but you can try after making a copy.
