Domino Designer sometimes showing no design elements

Question

I'm using IBM Domino Designer 9.0.1. I have a server locally installed, and I have an ODP project associated to the nsf. Recently I've been opening Domino Designer to have it completely forget the nsf elements (have a look at the picture). Preferences/General/Workspace is set to 'Refresh automatically' and Build automatically is turned off.

I've tried: Refreh (no effect), Build (no effect), Sync (Progress bar gets filled with 'Updating File Menu based on Navigator Filter' but no progress).

The only thing that seems to work is re-associating the ODP to a new nsf.

Anybody have anything similar? Should I just reinstall Domino Designer? Because, you know, that's just loads of fun!

If you do have to reinstall there's a way to export all the preferences and working sets I believe. I think Paul Withers bloggers about it once. — David Leedy

I had a similar issue but with an older version of Designer (8.5 or 8.01). Currently at 9.01 and haven't had the issue. I believe I had to rebuild my /workspace to solve the issue.

I found another similar issue with 8.01 in the Notes forum. You didn't mention if Processing indications (green circle and status bar bottom right) showed anything going on in the background.
