Play panel disappears in MS 3.1
After some change that I cannot recall exactly (it may have been closing or undocking the play panel) it disappeared completely and I cannot recover it by toggling view Play panel on or off. It is as if it were somewhere outside the screen. It happened twice. Even if I cannot provide more details as how to reproduce this, I report it just in case.
Workaround: The only way to make it come back without closing the software is to open the Preferences window and just accept (to be sure, the option of viewing the play panel at start is enabled). The play panel comes back but the header is outside the screen. Resizing it upwards from below eventually makes the header visible and everything goes back into control.

If you use windows you can use the windows secrets in https://musescore.org/en/node/287862. Make sure the last thing done before using the windows only tricks is to open the play panel, or if you can see part of it, click the play panel then try the tricks.

Thanks, I'll try this next time it happens!
It happened again. I think it may be related to one of the methods for docking, which is to create a tabbed docking. This is cool because the inspector can be displayed using all the space availabe and yet with just a click at the bottom you make the play panel visible. But this method is not remembered when quitting the program, so next time it appears ocked the vertical tile docking style. So I undock it to engage the tabbed docking. It is this the situation in which the window disappears.
