Description
The display area in the TimeTracker window where the table of tasks, reports, dialogue boxes, etc. has disappeared. The area in the window where projects and tasks are listed seems to have grown in size until the display area can no longer be seen. (See attached screen shot for reference.) Resizing the window to its maximum size does not fix the problem.
I saved the timetracker.db file in a separate location, uninstalled TimeTracker, and reinstalled TimeTracker. And the display area came back using the timetracker.db file created at installation. However, when I replaced the new timetracker.db file with the copy of my old one to restore my data, the display area disappeared again.
I can't export my data and reinstall because the export dialogue shows in the display area that I can't see.
As best as I can tell, the resizing of the display area happens if I log out or restart without stopping a task that is running. I get the usual warning saying that a task is running and I should stop it, and I click OK to do so. However, upon restart or logging back in, the display area and the columns have been resized making it so I had to manually resize them.
It got resized to the point of disappearing because one of my IT guys was trying to solve a problem on my computer and logged off and on many times in a row without manually resizing the display area in TimeTracker.
Now it looks like the only solution is to do a fresh reinstall. Luckily I have an export from a few days ago to restore my data so all I loose is about two days of data.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1 x64 on a Dell Precision T5500

Hi! thanks for the report.
There is an workaround to this bug:
On the system tray, right click the "working man" icon from timetracker and select the option: "Reset to default".
This will reset all window sizes to the default values.
Meanwhile, will try to replicate the problem based on your description and hopefully solve it in the next release.
Best Regards,
Armindo
