I am running version 5.271.0.4458 on an iPad with iOS 16.1.1. Previously the Items Manager panel would stay open while I worked in the design panel until I decided to close it. Now if I open the Items Manager, select a body in Items Manager and then go to rotate it or otherwise work in the design panel the Items Manager panel disappears. Very frustrating. I hope this was not a software design change. I looked in Settings to see if this was configurable and it appears not to be. Did iOS 16.1 introduce this problem? How do I get the old behavior back?

Hi Joel,  
Maybe you unpinned the item-manager?

@Matt_the-Rathje  
You beat me to it.  
(BTW, the item is a limit switch imported from McMaster Carr…and in STEP format. 🙂)

**D’oh!** Blame my app blindness. Many, many thanks.

Perhaps a short note could be added to the Shapr3D docs? I had searched them to no avail.
