Tab groups on windows 8

Post by gmichaud »

I have PS on a windows 8 test VM and tab groups are not available. Not from the View menu nor from the right-click tab context menu.




I have to wonder if this is related to a problem I'm having with WMI on windows 8. None of my vbscripts can get the screen resolution. WMI returns blank values for a few properties of CIM_VideoController, Win32_VideoController and Win32_DesktopMonitor. Does PS make a min screen size check before allowing tab groups?

FYI. I'm using build 138 on both win7 & win8 and tab groups ARE available on win7.

And you can't tell from the screenshot, but I DO have multiple files open.

I also just verified no tab group options on real workstation h/w, not it's not just a VM issue.

I have checked on my Windows 8 machine and that is available.
if you right click on the file tab, are the corresponding items also not available, grayed out?

The only way I found to get these items disabled is by creating a tab group and activating a file that is in a group by itself.

Here is the entire PS window and the right-click menu:



No options to get tab groups. I've tried opening, closing, closing, opening...no joy.

No idea at this moment, works fine here under any OS. There is no code that would make it dependant on screen resolution.
I'll find some more Windows 8 machines and try there.

Thanks. I tried a few more things like closing when it was full screen, minimized, file(s) opened, no files opened. Can't find anything that makes it act differently. If I come across something I'll let you know.
Thanks,
Gerry
