right click in Hierarchy browser shows tools palette???

Hi all,

LabVIEW can suprise me again and again, even after >>10 years. Heres a problem with LV7.1:
I have a large project (>700 VIs) and found that I need to convert error codes for a non-NI device. Opened the Hierarchy window to sort out where to do this, e.g. which of the driver VIs needes some wrappers that convert the error codes. Did some work and than, at some time, the hierarchy window went 'mad'. A right-click there no longer shows a context menu, but the tools palette, which is completely useless there.
A shut-down of LV did not help.
Any ideas?

Found the answer myself - LV must have been stumbled and set a bad ini entry. I compared the values on my laptop and on the workstation and 'copied the value to the WS.
Now it works again.
I edited LabVIEW.ini, located in LabVIEWs home directory, usually c:\programs\National Instruments\LabVIEW7.1\.
The bad value:  hierarchy.stateFlags=66
The good value:  hierarchy.stateFlags=79

Use this info at your own risk!
