MESSAGES window missing

The MESSAGES window in PLCnext Engineer has gone missing again. The active indicator for the MESSAGES window will toggle on/off, but nothing appears on the screen. The other window buttons on that ribbon operate properly.

This issue seems to be triggered when the MESSAGES window is popped out and moved to a secondary monitor connected to a laptop. If that monitor is unplugged, the MESSAGES window goes with it and is not recoverable on the laptop. The only solution has been running the repair tool from the installer.

Is there a better way to find this window when it disappears?

    This issue is also happening with the WATCHES window, even after upgrading PLCnext Engineer to 2024.0.

    If the PC is connected to a different monitor while the WATCHES window is open, the window is lost until the software is repaired/reinstalled.
