I haven't used Monodevelop for several months. Since I use the Xamarin-repository, the program has been recently updated from version 5.10 to 7.5. My problem now is that in many (all?) cases I can't find the toggle to switch between code and designer view if I load one of my old projects. If I create a new project that toggle exists but only during the same session. After a reload it disappears and I can't alter the GUI anymore. All I can do is to alter the automatically by the designer created files but this is really tedious and annoying. Any ideas? Anybody who encountered the same problem and found a solution?
I found this kind of a workaround.
Open your file in the Sourcecode mode (even though you want to enter in Designer Mode).
Right-Click the tab with the filename, choose "close all files" from the context menu.
Double-click your file again in the project tree view.
Most of the time I get a chance to pick now from Sourcecode/Designer Tab
