Expression Editor not visible in QlikView / Script Editor hangs or freezes

• The Expression Editor is unavailable
• Script Editor is not displayed

If it appears that the expression editor or script editor in the QlikView client doesn't open or that the Window hangs when you try to open the editor; then it might be that the Editor window is actually opened, but have a size so small it's not visible or it's out of the screen. Another option is to recreate the QlikView User profile as described further down.

Environment:

QlikView Client 11x, 12x

 

In such case, when the script window is active (QlikView title bar is greyed), you can use the Windows shortcut "Win + Up Arrow" to maximize the window or "Win + Right Arrow or Left Arrow" to move the window. See Windows Shortcuts for more details. 

Another solution might be to remove or re create the qlik user profile in the roaming folder in order to apply original settings.

1.  Log in with the user who is affected and go to the user folder C:\Users\...
2. Selet the respective user folder and go to AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView for instance: C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView
3. Remove the QlikView folder or rename it, a new profile with the default settings will be created
4. Restart the QlikView Client
