Properties window disappears when using targeted adjustment

[moskydawg]

I am using Photoshop cc 2017.1.1.  When using an adjustment layer such as curves, levels, hue & saturation, etc., selecting the targeted adjustment or eyedropper and clicking on the image causes the adjustment properties window to disappear.  I can still use the pointer to make an adjustment but can not see how it is moving the curve or level or whatever.  It does reflect in the image.  I have to click on the adjustment layer icon to reopen the properties.  Is there some way to make them stay open during the adjustments?

Thanks,

John

I figured it out.  I had auto-collapse iconic panels checked.  Found it by right clicking on the panel title bar.
