In the official viewer, HUDs disappear when I minimize them!

[Adur Gaelyth]

I have noticed this for a long time. It only happens in the official viewer (or at least it doesn't happen in Firestorm), and it only happens with some types of HUDs. I never worried much about this, but I've recently begun to build, and I have this problem with the Encogma HUD I'm using.

When you minimize the HUD, a little logo should remain on the screen, so that you can open it again. This works fine in Firestorm. But in the official viewer the HUD just disappears when you minimize it, and you need to detach it and wear it again to be able to open it.

Is this a bug, or maybe it can be fixed changing some setting in the viewer?

 

Thank you Charolotte and Theresa... It must be some other thing. I contacted the creator of the HUD, I hope he can fix it!

 

Update 7/02/2013: Problem solved! The Encogma creator sent me a new updated version of the HUD, it works fine now. You can minimize it without a problem. It's a pity that many products I bought from other creators (especially shoes) won't be fixed unless the creators (who used Encogma) make new updated versions, using the updated HUD!

Perhaps when it minimizes, it is disappearing off screen?

To check, wear that hud you mentioned and one other hud also, any hud. Now click the one that disappears so that it disappears. Right click the hud you can still see and choose edit. Scroll your mouse wheel and you will see the hud screen minimize, it will be a white lined rectangle, see if maybe the missing hud has fallen out of the normal hud viewing screen and if so move it to within the white lined rectangle.

If not, then it's probably something else.

Try right-clicking in the area where the HUD should be. This re-sends the graphic information about the HUD to your viewer. Occasionally this information gets lost.
