Press the tab key and let me know if that works.

it does not
It should. Can you take a screenshot of this menu for me?

sorry I know this sounds like a dumb user error thing but it is not. I have been having this problem for like a year. it might not even be a drawpile thing, but a windows thing, where the windows have somehow been banished to the shadow realm and for whatever reason using the taskbar to arrange windows doesn't bring them into view. The problem is occurring with the flip book window now too.
okay it turns out it's some kind of weird windows issue. I found a utility thing called winlister that lists every open window and recenter it if you wish, and this has fixed the issue. I now have my drawing tools toolbar back. same fix for the flipbook. sorry about not responding for so long.
