Zed Editor Won't Open

[anchapin]

After the first time I closed Zed, I can no longer open it. When I try to open it, I see the icon in my dock with the dot under it but no window opens and when I right-click and select "Show All Windows" I see that there are no windows available.

The menu bar should change to that of Zed when you click on the dock icon and you should be able to use File > New Window.

I had this happen to me where invoking Zed from the commandline for one specific directory wouldn't work, but all other directories would.

Root cause: I was plugged into an external monitor and had switched it to a different input, so just couldn't see my window. D'oh.

Solution: Unplug external monitor OR with Zed active (but no window visible), go to Window → Move to Built-in Retina Display.

Well, I just tried to reproduce this error again to see if one of the proposed solutions would help and I'm not seeing this issue anymore.
