Session Will No Longer Open
 
I have not seen this before and not sure how to fix it, but when I try to open/connect to a specific session, it appears that nothing happens at all. This session is several years old, I haven't made any changes, and it was working earlier today. I checked to see if it was hiding somewhere (like in an alternate window), but its just apparently not doing anything.

I recently did have an issue where a newly created session was acting weird, trying to force itself as a tabbed group with two other sessions. I believe I fixed that by dragging the tabs our of the group, now the other sessions seems okay. It's possible something under the hood is still off. I don't see really any help on tabbed groups, how to untangle them, nor what may happen in the background when CMUD decides its going to force a new session to hijack two other sessions into a tab-group.

All said, anyone have any advice on how to get my old session to work again? (Also, I'd appreciate if anyone can point me to any possible documentation of properly group and ungroup sessions/packages, so that I can check/fix things that may go awry).

Thanks!

Two of the best ways to ensure you don't get these kind of issues are to:
* give each session a unique name
* limit one session per instance of CMUD running

As to getting the individual sessions working again, i suspect that the main window objects (named for the session) have lost independent control of the network connection.

Open settings.
Select the window object
Switch to the advanced tab at the bottom of the individual setting
And choose 'use main session network connection'

(i believe the tabbed session may have switched it to 'no network connection')
