For me when i open the LE and dive into it, some elements are out of sight. No handler means no way to move it into sight though ...

Dang Titles you sure do have alot of problems. In the Link Editor's titlebar on left, left click the icon and select Arrange. Do you see the Lights node now?

Have you tried that cyan widget to move LE view?

Middle mouse button drag pans the LE window.

Ah, thanks, another mistery solved :)


Yes, i really have lots of trouble with TS 7.5. Everytime i open it to create some content i end in making a screenshot. Heh, gimme some hidden quirks, hide them the best you can, but that doesn't stop me from finding them. I am really good at this :D


I found also another way around. Haven't noticed the navigation field where you can move around in the LE. I thought it was an LE element, not a navigation field.


But that one shows the next little bug. You can place a panel above. And it is in background then :)

Since you've missed out on the basics of how to navigate in the LE, here are a couple more mysteries solved for you.


Right click in the LE swaps between centering panels in the LE and current view.

Double left click on the LE navigation display centres the currently selected panel.

Right click and drag mouse up down scales the LE view - this is for viewing panel positions only, panels are not editable when scaled.


The 'bug' where a panel can be placed over the navigation display is a conscious design. If the navigation display is over the panel you can't edit the panel contents underneath. You can navigate the panel off the navigation display by either moving the panel or holding down mouse wheel and dragging, though.

Thanks for explanation. Will surely help me alot :)


Hmm, a navigation element shouldn't be hidable by a content element. There should be a more elegant way to handle this case. But i get your point :)
