Hi. I'm in Cinema 2023 and using Octane 2022.1.1 (R4).
There seems to very annoying bug where the list of nodes that's usually down the left hand side of the node editor keeps disappearing. As you resize the window, sometimes they pop back, and then as you move the window again they disappear.

I have a friend who is experiencing the same issue.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on what might be causing it?
many thanks,
Terry

I think you might have the "Auto hide menu" option checked in Octane Settings>Settings>Nodes.

Oh my goodness! I'm such an idiot. Thank you Frankmci!

Yes, it's a fresh install on a new machine and couldn't understand why my old computer had never done it. Wow, that option seems really buried away from the node editor!
So far, so good.
Thanks again!

To be fair, if you go to Edit>Settings in the Node Editor, it takes you to that location in Octane Settings. I agree it is a bit unintuitive, though.

If you are reading this one, Ahmet, and have the time, I think it would make sense to have "Side Menu" and "Auto Hide Side Menu" options right there in either the Edit or View menu of the Node editor.
