Sonar X3e window layout glitch that won't go away

Wondering if anybody has seen this before and knows a permanent solution.
 
I forget what caused it... I think it was a crash (Automapped Slate VCC imploded) while working in fullscreen mode (F11) with a console window on my second monitor.
 
When loading Sonar the left area that is used for the track inspector has been replaced by a blank / functionless panel. The panel remains blank despite closing / reopening the inspector and switching screen sets.
 
Temporary solution found is toggle fullscreen mode (F11) on/off. However, the blank panel is again present upon closing / reopening Sonar - with or without loading any project.
 
Also, even after fullscreen has been toggled and the problem is "fixed", any other windows application that is maximized will have the blank panel in its GUI and the window border no longer functions (you cannot double-click the border to maximize / restore, nor double-click the top left corner to close). The standard minimize / maximize / X in the top right corner still functions as normal.
 
Not a game ender, but annoying.
 
Open Sonar, blank side panel:

 
Open project, blank inspector:

 
Toggle Fullscreen off / on (F11), fixed:

 
Alt+tab to firefox (maximized), blank panel still visible:

    Something to try...
    When ever the inspector becomes visible, undock the view and return SONAR to regular screen (if in full screen mode), then save and shut down SONAR. Restart SONAR, load the project and dock the inspector.

    Thanks for the try Scook, but no luck.
     
    I eventually got it to work this evening. I remembered that it originally happened when I changed screen resolutions after a crash. I had been working all night and at some point decided to switch down to 1920x1080 too see how it felt for focused MIDI editing. I believe the crash happened after working at this resolution for awhile.
     
    Since I wasn't feeling any productivity benefit from the lowered resolution, I reset to native 3840x2160 before I restarted Sonar. I believe that's when the layout error presented itself.
     
    So, I undocked the inspector, saved the project, closed Sonar, switched resolution back to 1920x1080, opened Sonar (problem was gone), opened project and saved (just to be sure), closed Sonar, switched res back to 3840, all better.
