&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know if this variable still works. You can try set this variable and see if it makes a difference. This from back in the v8.5 days of Microstation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;MS_COMPRESS_USER_PREFS = 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Microstation&amp;#39;s default UI is atrocious and I need to customise everything to get anything remotely useable for my workflow. And it still lacks many customisation options like being able to dock toolbars without them snapping or changing orientation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Dockable Dialogs and multiple application windows Bug</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/741273?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2022 12:18:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e4bda632-4957-4014-b333-7ddb1efd2fbb</guid><dc:creator>KKnepper</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I believe you might be right with your initial assumption. I too have had numerous problems with my upf file becoming corrupt and I also have docked and pinned dialog boxes with 2 application windows. It almost appears to be a GUI problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example: when I first open a DGN file and try to open my view attributes dialog (which is docked &amp;amp; pinned to the right hand side of my left application window) this is what I see&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1668082482964v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dialog is totally blank and unusable. I have to go to the file menu and re-open the file in order to get the view attributes dialog to show anything. I wouldn&amp;#39;t be surprised that the same underlying issue is responsible for the problem with not being able to click on the &amp;quot;treat reference as element&amp;quot; column in the reference file dialog box (which is also docked &amp;amp; pinned to my right application window).&lt;/p&gt;
