Cubase 7 Mix console driving me nuts

That doesn’t work for me in 7.0.4. No matter what I do to this window, it results in one of two states, the faders and all elements BUT the racks visible or the faders only partially visible and nothing else. In both states I’ve never been able to see the racks again.

As has been reported before by others, when I open a second mixer everything is fine with that one But the problem still remains with the original

I did find a fix ONCE when I had this problem in 7.0.3, perhaps it was the same one as chimpspanner (wish I had written it down) but his suggested fix is not working for me in 7.0.4.

I’m getting beta tester fatigue. I just need to get my work done.
