Format->Style Pop up doesn't show up

• Mar 12, 2019 - 04:37

When I went to format->style, the dialogue box was not fit to my screen properly (the "apply" and "ok" button were not showing at the bottom), so I tried to resize the window by clicking and dragging the edges inward. When I tried to resize the window, the window just disappeared. Now when I try to access the style window, it doesn't pop up. But then musescore acts like the pop-up is showing, and doesn't let me click anywhere without either hitting enter on the keyboard or exiting and reopening musescore. Even after reopening and reinstalling musescore (and restarting my computer), musescore has this same error with the style pop-up. It doesn't do this for any other pop-ups. Only the style one.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I have 14 " Lenovo Yoga, and tried just now to scale to 100 %. I now could find the pop up way down yonder (it for some reason goes down beyond the screens lower end if trying to resize it by the upper corners, like TS described).

It is almost impossible to read the menues in this scale. I also tried 125 % scaling, and everything on the computer BUT MS3 goes a tad bigger. The text is so small that its pixels float together and cant be proper read even with reading glasses.

Style pop up window still is impossible to resize. That's the big problem. The second problem is that it pops out of sight if trying to resize it by the upper corners.

I also wonder. I can't really work with the program for now. If text is readable (150 % scale) the pop ups dont show fully (not only OK or Cancel that can be operated by enter or esc and such, but also the menu options do not show), and are not resizeable. At 100 % scale, the text is too small to read (but pop ups become VERY much smaller, AND resizeable).

I dont have the possibilty to buy an extern big screen or use TV.

As shown in my pic above, the pop up is unnecessary big. At 100 % it should be 66 % of that size, but it becomes more of 40-50 % that size (and resizeable).

I did. Text is too small. But are there no intention to fix the pop ups so that they work like other pop ups in other programs? Resizable, scrollable and so that they don't open so big that there are no possibility to resize height?

Somethings in MS 3 are more that twice as big in 150 % than in 125 % (symbols in the left palette menu for example, and size of pop ups - these things gets too big). Much more difference in MS 3 than in other programs when I change the scaling.

I managed to make the Format Style window appear by using keyboard commands. After selecting Format-->Style in the usual way, I then pressed Alt-Space to activate the pop-up menu of the invisible window and then the M key (to move the window). I then used the left hand arrow to move the window and it suddenly came into view on my screen. If you don't see the window, try using the other arrow keys until the window appeared. The nice thing is that Musescore remembered where the window was and so I only had to do this process once per session.
