Environment no longer visible in Windows app

Help Hub

Hi,

The currently selected environment is no longer visible in the Windows app. I have 12.4.3.

I have to click the little Environments button to see which one is selected. This is a big problem as I frequently switch between environments and the Postman behavior seems to have changed a while back to use different environments for different collections.

Thanks, Mark

Hey @markdbullock :waving_hand:

Could you share an image of the behaviour you’re having issues with, please?

I guess the problem is that the environment list changes to a little icon when i have lots of request tabs open.

Yeah, it reduces to it’s minimised stated (the icon) but it can be dragged and resized.

You can also use the new command palette to open items in the UI, like the switcher.

Thanks. I see the vertical resize bar to the left of the environment icon, but it doesn’t do anything when I click and drag it.

@markdbullock This seems to be buggy. I was having the same problem (unable to resize the environment icon area as you described) until I closed the 30 or so tabs I had open. Then, I was able to resize the environment drop-down as expected so I could see the name of the currently selected environment. Now, we see if it stays visible as I add tabs. :wink:

Hey @riddlermn :waving_hand:t2:

Welcome to the Postman Community :postman:

We have just released a small fix in that area, which version are you currently using?

If you’re able to replicate this issue in the latest version, I can pass those details on to the team.

I think I reported it on v12.5.6.

I have 12.6.0 now and the environment list doesn’t collapse when I open lots of tabs. Looks good.
Thanks, Mark
