Can't use Sideview utils editor

Hello,

I'm trying to test sideview utils but i can't use the editor. When i start it, i can see 3 choice list 'app', 'view' and 'edit', but after a few seconds the 'edit' disappears and i can't create a new view or edit an existing one.
Is this a version compatibility issue?
I am using splunk 4.3.3 and sideview utils 2.2.5

Thanks,
Cyrille

Aha. Well my guess from your description is that you have either some very long view names, or a fairly narrow browser window, or both.

If the app names and the view names together add up to a very long pair of pulldown objects, it'll push the "Edit/Add/Delete/Debug" Pulldown to the next line and unfortunately when it goes to the next line it becomes invisible.

Can you resize your browser window such that the window is large enough to have all three Pulldowns on one line? I'll also try and make an improvement to the next version that locks the first two Pulldowns at some maximum width.
