document propeerties does not come up

Asked by Bob

I want to reorient my work area from portrait to landscape, but the document property window does not appear. I have used the file scrolldown, the shortcut, and reinstalled a fresh copy.
I had previously had problems with anomolous ink coverage, but switching from 64 bit to 32 bit solved the problem. Might the 32 bit version be affected by my 64 bit system?

Hi Bob,

there's a known problem with dockable dialogs (default setting).
It could be this is causing your problem.

Please look to the right of the right scrollbar to see if a new icon or text has appeared there. If it is there, click on it to open the dialog.
In the settings that then open (hopefully), you can change this behaviour by setting Interface > Windows > Dialog behaviour to 'floating' instead of dockable.

If this does not solve your problem, also look 'behind' the Inkscape window (make it smaller to see if the dialog is accidentally behind the window) and - if your dialog is there - then change the setting for 'Dialogs on top'.

If this still doesn't help, please report back ;)

Regards,
 Maren

Not quite - AFAIU the user asked about 'Document Properties', the setting you mention is in the Preferences dialog (which BTW is the only dialog which not dockable anymore in Inkscape 0.91).

Thx for the info! So not in the dialog that then opens, but the one accessible from Edit > Preferences.
