I had the issue as well and I downloaded the designer using the new gateway (multiple times). After looking for a few hours I tried downloading the designer from the inductive website and guess what. there was perspective again. So I don’t know why but it appears installing the designer/upgrading th…

Consider doing the opposite, and telling JxBrowser/Chromium not to elevate instead of always running as admin:
