Hi,
I've been having this odd issue lately.
My scale tool is gray in the UV texture editor. No colored constraint boxes.
The move and rotate tools are fine, and all tools, including scale, are fine in the main windows... it's just in the texture editor.
I can still scale, but only by clicking/drag on the gray arms of the tool (again, no boxes).
I've deleted preferences, uninstalled/reinstalled... maybe some file didn't get tossed?
Could it be a graphics card issue? Seems like there would be bigger issues beyond this one.
I'm not sure if it's related but I also had an issue with older files (from 6.0/6.5) missing ALL the manipulators... but that was resolved by importing the scenes into 7.0... rather than just opening them up with 7.0.
Thanks for any info,
K
EDIT: Nevermind, I did more research and discovered that I just needed to update my drivers. Now everything is wonderful again.
