Lately, the following problem has been popping up in my Poser Pro 11... while working on a scene, after editing a camera/light setting, I'll switch to a figure, but the parameters for the light/camera stay in the parameter panel (see picture). The only way to undo it is to close Poser and restart, which is a pain. Is this happening to anyone else, and if so, what did you do about it? Thanks!!

I strongly suggest you contact customer service and make a ticket to look into this. Sorry you are having difficulties. IF no one has responded in 48 hours, contact me via site-mail and I will look into this further for you.

Yes, I have had that before. First the dials do that, then they become unresponsive, and only a restart will fix. It tends to happen with very big scenes where you make lots of changes again and again. I haven't had it happen for a long time though.

i am on mac

DocMatter: Have you had a resolution ... or do you want me to report to SM for you?

@DocMatter: that happens to me all the time, and I am also using Poser Pro 11 on a Mac (MacBook Pro w/ macOS High Sierra). Sometimes it'll happen after only 30+ minutes of working in Poser, and other times it doesn't happen for a few hours. But I can kind of feel when it's about to happen. I go to move the camera and something feels not quite right, almost like my trackpad has given me an unexpected haptic response. From that point on, the parameter dials will no longer turn and/or only the camera's parameter dials will display, even if I have a prop or figure selected.

Sometimes I can resolve the issue by switching between the Pose and Material rooms. But if that doesn't do the trick, then I quit Poser and open it again. Or, if I've been using it a while and have had Photoshop or my modeling app open too, I restart the computer first.

As for reporting it to SM, I'm not sure how much that would help, as they seem to always say to Mac users that they can't reproduce the problem. I guess that's not too surprising given that we all use our computers and Poser in such a wide variety of ways. In the grand scheme of things, I consider this to be an annoyance but not a major problem, since at least Poser doesn't actually crash!
