Program Window Compile Missing Tab and Hint Window

Was hoping someone would be able to assist me with troubleshooting an issue. Recently, I've found that if I compile a PL/SQL Developer package that contains any errors or warnings, the package head and body tabs will disappear when in the body and the window that normally appears containing hint text at the bottom of the program window with details on any warnings or errors does not appear. As far as I know, I've not changed any settings. I've tried uninstalling the program, deleting all saved configuration files, and reinstalling the program to a newer version with no change.

Currently using:
PL/SQL Developer
Version 16.0.2.2154 (64 bit)
Style: Windows 11 Light
Windows 11 Build 26100
en-US(1033)/English (United States)

How my program window for my packages look before compiling:

How they look after compiling:

The message at the end of the program with no actual hints shown:

Any one else experience this and no the fix? Any help is really appreciated as I've been scratching my head for hours now.

Thanks!
 
Troubleshooting this more, it appears that the blank bar which replaces my tabs is actually the compiler hints window, but it cannot be resized/moved and the hints are not viewable in the location it sits.
 
I cannot immediately reproduce this, and I'm not sure what could cause this. Can you update to the current 16.0.8 version and try again?
 
Thanks Marco. I couldn't figure it out either but did yet another uninstall/reinstall. This time I must have removed a setting file in Program Data that I didn't originally, because it is now working. It was a crazy bug, but I think I'm good now. No idea what setting would have caused it.
