I just noticed (when I tried to get the contents of my snippets used in the listing I sent about the EPS warning) that the “Text Snippets” window no longer contains the snippet selection pane on the left side of the window…

The poup shows all my Snippets, but the window does not allow me to select one to Edit.

And I’m not sure why there is a “Services” popup menu at the bottom of the Text Snippets popup menu.

Now the Script Editor window has lost it’s left side selection pane also!!

This did NOT happen yesterday with the Beta 1 release…

@Neal

Try this: Grab the very left side of that window and move it to the left a bit. Do you then see the sidebar again?

@Neal

And I’m not sure why there is a “Services” popup menu at the bottom of the Text Snippets popup menu.

That has been added by software you have installed (e.g. BBEdit).
You can edit the Services menu in System Preferences:

1. Open the Services Menu from the Menu Bar. (e.g. in Finder click on “Finder” in the menu bar, then Services > Settings)
2. Then in the System Preferences select Services Settings
3. Make your settings there.

Tried that. Moving to the left just grows the window. BUT… Moving to the RIGHT DOES expose the pane.

Not sure why this release hides that pane. Never happened before…

I guess I just never noticed the Services menu down at the bottom of the Text Snippet menu before.

Again, Moving the left edge splitter to the RIGHT DOES re-expose the pane.

BUT… The left-hand pane size is not maintained by either window after quitting and re-launching the app. It opens smaller than it was when I quit the app.

In both the Text Snippet and the Script Editor windows the left side pane is not the same size as it was when I quit the app. This has always worked consistently before the 9.8 Beta 2 Release.
