Unable to Open Material/Mesh Details Viewport (Resolved)

Summary

When trying to open a material, mesh or anything of that sort, the window will not open.

(for now on, I’m going to refer to it as a material but this can be anything that involves a new window being opened.)

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

Content Drawer → Double Click Material → Viewport will/wont Open

Expected Result

I expect the viewport to open properly, showing the details about the material I clicked.

Observed Result

The viewport technically opens but its just not visible unless I Alt+Tab, but yet its still empty (as shown in the video🎥)

Platform(s)

PC

Video

Additional Notes

This all started when I was moving files around inside my Content Drawer but this bug applies to all of my projects.
I have restarted my PC, verified my game files, re-installed UEFN and those solutions have not resolved the issue.

Have you tried resetting layout to default? Do you use multiple monitors? Can you try using a different monitor?

Does it work for you if you right-click the material in the content drawer and then select Edit?

I just reset the layout and that worked! I do use multiple monitors, is that the cause of the problem?
Either way, thank you very much! :pray:
