Formatting toolbar missing in Lucidchart

I haven’t used LucidCharts in a month or so and going into it now, the Formatting Toolbar is completely missing and there’s no option to toggle it on/off. This is immensely frustrating as the Format Paint tool was one I used often and now it’s embedded waaaay within the Shape properties dialog box.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Is there a workaround to get the toolbar back or add shortcuts etc? This also means the undo/redo buttons and others aren’t available to use.

 

It looks like the AI integration in the contextual floating toolbar has resulted in the permanent formatting toolbar at the top of the screen being completely hidden/removed.

Hi ​@BennyT, thank you for posting in the Community and thank you ​@Humas1985 for chiming in!

Just to add a few more details here, you can now find undo/redo buttons at the bottom right side of the canvas, as such:

Additionally, if you are referring to the Copy style/Paste style feature, you can find it in the menu when clicking right, as in this example:

I hope this is helpful, please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Cheers
