@Liz G Is it possible to move the position of the contextual panel ? it used to be under the horizontal menu and now its on the right side why ?

Hi @aurelie.gabriel thank you for continuing this thread! There is not currently a way to move the content panel. 

Hi all I wanted to update this thread with good news! Our development team has improved this experience so that now if you dismiss the context panel after it opens when you click on a shape it will remain hidden and will not continue to open. Please let us know here if you continue to experience issues with this. Thank you!

Good idea I'd like to add that this happens with Hotspot shapes and the action panel at the top too pinning the panel and moving it elsewhere gets it out the way but it will disappear and re-appear here as soon as you click back on it again.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for chiming in!

What you describe is the intended behaviour of the Actions/Hotspots pop-up panel however I do understand your point and encourage you to share that here.

Ideas and comments submitted to this form as passed on directly to our Product Development Team for their consideration.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know your thoughts!

For me, this is neither good news, nor an improved experience.  I only want to see the Contextual panel when I click on its icon or maybe when I right-click on a shape.  The Lucid team is better than this. 🙂

Hi ​@kcrossley, thank you for your feedback on this feature! 

We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. Our product team is regularly reviewing feedback in this space as they research product enhancements. Feel free to leave additional details about what you’d hope to see in this experience within this thread! Thanks again for voicing your thoughts on this!

This seems to be broken.. I select an object and it pops out. I hide it and I select another object and it pops out again.
Let me add, this is only true for swimlanes.  If you click a swimlane it always opens regardless if you closed it before.

Hi ​@turbo2ltr, thank you for adding to this thread! 

When you first click on a swimlane, the contextual panel will open. If you close the panel, you should then be able to click on individual lanes without the contextual panel opening. If you click outside of your swimlane, then click back into your swimlane or on another swimlane, the contextual panel will reopen once again. Does this match your experience?

I am sorry for any frustration caused by this experience. Upvoting this post and commenting with details on what you are hoping to see are the perfect ways to get your feedback in front of the product teams!

Please let me know if you have any additional questions here.
