Hello,
In Studio 2019, when the cursor is in a segment with "no matches found", a part of the Advanced tab disappears or is missing at all:
So, for example, I cannot use the Insert symbol feature in an empty segment.
In segments with some content, the full tab is displayed:
Sandor
And it lets SDL know how to reproducibly Hide/Reveal the Insert Symbol ribbon
Normally I haven't come across this problem... but I tried again this morning with an sdlxliff file created using a file definition I don't have and low and behold I have the same issue! That's good news!
Unfortunately your workaround does do anything for me so I can't validate that. I could solve it with a "reset window layout" however.
But even better news is that when I closed the project, activated another, then went back... the features were missing again. So hopefully this will be reproducible for a developer too!

Hi
Glad to hear at least some of the problem is reproducible.
I found that adding and deleting TMs sometimes affected the behaviour of the Insert Symbol ribbon.
You might want to try the following:
If you have a project that does not show the Insert Symbol ribbon, then create a new project template based on this project. Call it "test template" or something.
Create a new project using the "test template". Check that the Insert Symbol ribbon behaves the same as it did in the original project, i.e. it is not visible.
Now go to the Translation Memories section of the project settings and delete the TMs. Or, if there are no TMs, then add one. Check the behaviour of the Insert Symbol ribbon again.
Try adding and deleting TMs a few times to see whether there is a reproducible change in behaviour of the Insert Symbol ribbon.
I noticed a change in behaviour. It will be interesting to see if you also notice a change.
As you may have noticed, I also have had this issue.
Today I tried to adapt the ribbon, but unfortunately not all actions are available to be added (like add confirming segments to the Review tab - was not possible), so I resetted the ribbons to remove a custom group I added to the review tab. This has repaired the issue reported here...
Maybe that will help you too? Just go to view, ribbon customization and use the reset button there?

Hi Jerzy Czopik
Unfortunately I can't confirm the workaround :-(
I just went to View->Ribbon Customization->Reset, but the Insert Symbol ribbon still disappears when I place the cursor into a segment with a status of Not Translated ...
