The Output Console in the designer in 7.9.1 won’t open. Is anyone else seeing this?

Check it’s not docked and coming up in a tab at the bottom of the screen - it can be easy to miss.

Checked everywhere. It’s not opening at all. I tried Resetting all panels and everything else I can think of, but it never opens.

Strange…  
I was viewing transaction groups in the designer and tried to open the Output Console…  
It didn’t open  
Went back to the window I was working on and it opened.
