Currently using:  
Ignition 7.8.1  
Java 8u121

I noticed a strange behavior where the project browser isn’t properly showing what window is opened. For example, if I open a window from the main splash page, the project browser still stays completely collapsed. Same thing when I double click on a template in a given window to edit it. The template opens, but the project browser is still collapsed. This can get a little tricky when trying to drill down into a specific group, sub template, etc. This behavior did not happen when I was running Ignition 7.6.6 and Java 8u121.

I’d suggest you upgrade to Ignition 7.8.5. I know there were a couple of bugs in the project browse tree that were fixed in early versions of 7.8, and that’s probably one of them.

Kathy,

Thanks for the heads up! I had noticed another bug with .gwbk sizes growing rather large and we were already planning on upgrading to 7.8.3 to resolve those. Thanks again.
