Display issues when activating left info panel

Hi everyone,

On my MacBook Pro M1, PhotoLab 8 does not display properly when I toggle the left info screen. This issue started about 4- 5 months ago.

The attached images show how the PL8 main display window resizes in odd ways. The window cannot be dragged into usable proportions. This happens whenever I toggle the left screen in editing mode. If I close the left panel the PL8 app display returns the other panels to normal sizes and I can use the program again.
Anyone else have this issue or can suggestion how to correct the problem?

I’ve seen this on PL9 as well, I sometimes have to restart the program to get it to clear.

This happened to me too. Closing PhotoLab & re-opening was enough to fix it. I haven’t seen the issue since.

By the way, this happened to me again today.

Filed a bug report with DxO. I’ll update when I hear back.

Probably a good idea if you also submit a bug report! The more they hear about it, the more they will work to fix it.
