MacOS 15.1 Styles Panel issue

[xiamenese]

Does anyone else find this problem with the Styles Panel (MacOS 15.1, M2Pro MacMini, Scrivener 3.3.6)?

I don’t normally have the Styles Panel open, but I checked it while perparing to respond to @KimYoonmi:

Minor request for show shortcuts in Styles pulldown

So… I made a bunch of styles, cued them up to Option+ cmd+1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But I also kinda have dyscalculia, so I’m hard pressed to remember which of the shortcut numbers I cued them up for. As it stands, Google Docs and Microsoft Word do show it in the pull down menu. But in Scrivener, in order to see it, you have to pull up the Styles panel to see what the shortcut is. It’s a minor request, but would help my workflow tremendously and from what I understand of programming shouldn’t be that d…

No problem here, checked on multiple projects

Thanks @RuffPub.

Very odd. Actually, having created a new project, it seems to have sorted itself out, including on the project that I had open when I took that screenshot.

Bizarre!

The problem is that you put it too narrow. You need to expand it sideways or up your resolution.

Whatever it was, I didn’t make it too narrow, I merely opened it and it was like that without my doing anything. I closed the project, re-opned it later and it was back to normal.

Let me know if you find a consistent reproduction case - I haven’t been able to replicate this unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view).
Thanks,

Hi Keith,

It happened again yesterday with a completely new project from a new blank template that I had made, which included the styles I had created. Sorry, I was too busy with that project to report at the time.

What I did notice was that the styles which were affected, were ones which were not in use in that project. I temporarily gave a paragraph each of those styles, used “Redefine Style from Selection…” and the panel returned to normal.

I’m using my MBA rather than the Mini at the moment. I’ll check with that project on here and set up a new test project with that template on the Mini and let you know in due course.

PS In the screenshot above, the styles in question, which are affected, are all styles I have created or modified, rather than the default ones.

Hi Keith,

Sorry about the delay in getting in touch again… but I’m sure you have lots on your plate.

1. I created a new project from my new template… no problem with the styles panel.
2. I created a new project from my “Standard” template that I have used for years… styles panel borked
3. I opened an old project… styles panel borked.

It seems that:

1. the styles panel goes awry on any project that was created under earlier versions of MacOS, not Sequoia or Sonoma or perhaps whatever preceded that (Ventura?)
2. The style names affected are those of styles not used in the project.
3. Giving a paragraph any of those styles and using “Redefine style from selection…” corrects it and I don’t think it recurs, even if that paragraph is removed or reverted to its original style.

If it would help, I’ll send you a copy of my “Standard” template for you to see what happens on your machine(s)
