I’ve somehow minimized my design screen and everything I’ve tried won’t get it back. It’s got scroll bars but a number of my controls do not appear. In the upper left hand corner it shows "/> which I did not see before. Any thoughts?
Try another or a new project and see if it works. If so, search this forum for instructions on fixing corrupt project files.
If not, then a full uninstall and reinstall would be the next. See forum for many postings on this procedure.
Before you do all that, try Reset IDE Panels in the View menu.
