Since about 2011 I've used what I presume to be the default users interface for BIAB. I've had the "mixer" showing Rts etc, names & numbers of Rts, levels for volume, panning, reverb & EQ "docked" in the right & the chord chart view taking up most of the real estate. Last week something changes,(ie: I probably changed something inadvertently), and now I have the chord chart taking up all the majority of the screen and the "mixer" appears, floating and opts for only one of the available views, ( names, levels etc.), at a time. I've been into settings and the dock mixer box is ticked. I've un-ticked & re-ticked to see if things change but nothing happens. No change. I can work with what I have but the docked right view suits my workflow a little better, (few mouse movements etc - arthritis), any suggestions?

Click on the "X" in the top right of the floating mixer to close that view. Then select the mixer icon and the mixer should reappear in its default position.
Click on the square button right below the close button, that will re-embed the mixer.

That doesn't work - the Mixer window remembers its previous position when reopened.
Thanks gents but, sadly, neither of those suggestions solves the problem. Here are some images of the status quo: Floating, maxed after clicking the suggested spot & the settings that it works from.

MoultiPass, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it. The Ctrl T thing did something...twice but the + did nada. Was it meant to be Ctrl + or just +? I did try Ctrl + and nothing happened there either.

Screen resolution can do funny things sometimes with BIAB, try changing that, fix the mixer the way you want, if that works, go back to the previous resolution and see how it goes.
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use

Looking at your second image, it seems like the mixer has been stretched horizontally beyond the window size. Like musiclover mentioned, changing screen resolution might help - try using the maximum resolution available with 100% scaling and see if that lets you grab the edge of the mixer to drag it right.
If that doesn't help, then a factory reset should do it. Go to Options > Return To Factory Settings.
Res was at max so I wasn't able to grab anything. Factory Rest MOST worked and hopefully hasn't altered anything significant as I usually don't tweak. THANKS SIMON!
