Disregard for now, it works today.
Yesterday I tried everything I knew to get it to work, the drop-down window wouldn't work.
Thanks

When the Parent Note drop-down menu does not work, the only way to make it work again is to restart the computer.
Then it works O K for a period of time, a few hours to a day or two, It stays that way until another restart.

What if you simply restart EPIM (not the PC), will it start working after that?

I think restarting the computer was the first thing I did, I'll try it again the next time the problem appears.

The problem is here again after five days.
The drop-down menu is there but hidden behind the other screens.
The problem is also back with Help/About menu.
Closed and restarted Epm, didn't fix the problem.
Restarted the PC and everything is normal.
Other software seems to work OK.
Could it be something about my computer?

It's hard to tell, but it seems like you're the only one experiencing this issue.

This fixed the problem for me.
