Advanced Tab Flashes in Studio 2017

Hello-- I just upgraded to Studio 2017 and when working half of the Advanced Tab will briefly flash into view when changing segments, but will not remain visible long enough to access any of the functions (Bookmarks, Insert Symbols, etc.). The only time those functions remain visible and accessible is if the segment I am working on had any input from the translation memory. If I am working on a completely new segment, they will flash and disappear and nothing can get it stay in place long. It does not matter if there is text in those segments or not.

  • Hi Sarah,

    Taking a bit of a wild guess here, but could you try disabling the bookmarks plugin and seeing if that helps?

    1. Go to

    C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

    2. Open the plugincache.xml file

    3. Make sure the file looks like the following (If you already have other disabled plugins, then you only need to add the "PluginState" line)

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <PluginCache>

     <PluginState pluginId="Sdl.TranslationStudio.Plugins.Bookmarks" enabled="False" />

    </PluginCache>

    Also, if you have any other third-party plug-ins they could possibly be the cause.
