Up until a couple of days ago, I had "Tools" sandwiched between World & Help at the top of my screen (or thereabouts).. did I do some keystroke combo to turn this off? Is it gone in the newest UI release? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I like the ability to "Select Only My Objects" and now that I can't do it, building tiny prims is kind of a pain!
Thanks!

In the RC viewer, the Tools menu only appears when you have a prim selected. Right click on anything, hit Edit, and you'll see it appear. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's an intentional stab at making the interface "simpler". Either way, it's a little silly.

It's LL's first attempt to make the UI more "friendly", expect many more headaches to follow
 .By default the Tools menu will only show when you're in Edit mode, once you close the Edit box, the menu will vanish again (you can still use all the keyboard shortcuts though). I posted a work-around on the relevant JIRA (you can vote to bring it back too, but don't hold your breath they will though): http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6328?focusedCommentId=55700#action_55700 |
