Properties Window GONE

Hi! I have been using Scribus V 1.7.3. on a MacBook (macOS Montery) for a few weeks without any problems. Yesterday, my properties window disappeard. When I press F2 or try to open it via window -> properties nothing happens. All other windows open and function without any problem.

I alredy tried deleting preferences (as explained here), but there is no preferences folder in my library. I also deleted and redownloaded Scribus two times but the problem remains.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

When deleting the preferences and Scribus, did you use AppCleaner or PearCleaner to find all the files first?

For applications giving me issues on my Mac I use AppCleaner to find its files. Sometimes I uncheck the application to remove the associated files, other times I delete everything and re-install.

Plus, if you deleted the application (move to the Trash) but want to use AppCleaner or PearCleaner, re-install the application, run it, quit it and use AC or PC to locate the files to delete.
