Bluebeam won't display documents in the view pane, how can I fix this?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Yesterday I updated Bluebeam to version 21.4.0. Since then, whenever I try to open a PDF document it will show the comments but the view pane is missing (see attached screenshot). It will show the document in full screen but I can't easily flip through the pages that way. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

I ended up fixing it by updating my system firmware and restarting.

F4 turns on and off navigation bar, Id try that key first and then a computer reset if that doesn't help.

Can you see any other panel icons on the sides or top of the screen?
