Toolbar is dissapearing after certain interactions

Hi there guys, I’m testing Penpot 2.0 right now and just found this very annoying bug.

whenever I select the “path tool”, another panel shows up, but if I ever try to bring back the previous panel and then close it, it will never open again, unless I decide to reload the page. This do not disable keyboard shortcuts but makes switching tools a lot harder, because I can’t see which one I chose from.

I think this approach of floating panels was great but maybe we still need a way to make the tools panel have a fixed position around outside, instead of overlaying the canvas. This could just be a setting we users can decide to use, maybe.

I’m just reporting that I’m still experiencing this bug today (01/23/25).
Pen tool selection hides the main toolset in the same scenario as the OP.
No option to unhide the hidden menu on click or from the keyboard shortcut selecting a tool.

Current solution: reload browser

Using:
MBP Mid-2015 MacOS Monterey 12.7.6
Chrome: Version 132.0.6834.110
Console message: Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received
