Blue Window?
 
This is the second time it has happend, and Im not sure what caused it. Perhaps I hit something by mistake.

Here is a screenshot:

looks like your having some problems with your layout. Make sure after you get your layout the way you want it, that you save each sub-window, save layout and LOCK layout.

Well the problem is, that I have had a layout fixed and locked for many months now, and not changed a thing. Then I start typing, not paying attention and all of a sudden it goes blue. I can move the window, and resize it, and maximize it, etc.. but I can not get it to show me the output of the mud. This happend once before and I ended up having to delete all my settings and start over. I tried importing them into a new character, and it copied over the that file.

Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Check your color selections in Prefs.

does going to [windows] [arrange windows] or [auto arraign windows] help?

I forgot what the exact menu item is called, but its under the window menu at the top of zmud.

Each window has it's own preferences. Make sure the active window is the one with the problem before checking preferences. It certainly doesn't look like the background is black.

I am able to arrange it any way possible, but none fix the display. And it is the window selected when trying to edit.

I suppose I'll try to import as many of my settings into a new character file without the one that is causing this. I thought that this might have been a common problem or certain feature with zMud. Ok then, thanks for trying.

Im sure this is a problem where the show mud output is turned off. If this is the case, a right click in the window, then selecting the correct option should be fine for turning it back on.

Well right clicking on the window produces no window, so I found that option within another menu (somewhere in settings) and this was the exact problem! One click and all back to normal.

Thanks so much for all your help, and thanks to Htang for the fix!
