How can one reset the GUI?

[mmo]

It's a bit embarrassing but I somehow managed to corrupt my EA GUI such that there is no more Project Browser! How can I get that back? When I open a project there is the name of the root node in the white top line. If I click on the right triangle I get a list of direct children nodes and continuing so I can actually navigate that tree (so that tree or its data) is apparently still there but I don't get a complete visual representation of that tree?!? Where has the project browser gone?

A similar effect with the toolbox: If I navigate to a diagram and click onto the << at the top right there is also no toolbox appearing, just a white pane about an inch wide is opening. But it's empty (i.e. white)!

Where have all those GUI elements disappeared?!? After fiddling with that for a while I decided to de- and re-installed EA (v15.1.1529) but after the reinstallation I got the exact same situation when opening the project that I had been working with! I then suspected it was the project that's corrupted but even opening the EA Example project doesn't look any better! No Project browser!

What can I do to get a properly working EA again??? How can one reset the GUI to factory settings?

Never mind! I managed to select an item and clicked "Show in Project Browser" and suddenly a different window opened that contained the Project Browser! I must have somehow managed to "tear" that sub-window off EAs main window (plus apparently to close it). Once the Project Browser had surfaced again I was then able to re-attach it to its normal position and now I am fine again.
What an odd experience! Esp. that this setting even survived a complete program re-install!

Now that you've "dodged the bullet", save your workspace using Start |  Desktop | Workspaces | Save new Layout..., so you can restore it again should your UI get damaged.
