Question

Navigator UI bug, missing elements

Overall I like the new Navigator interface, but I've noticed an annoying bug. Every time I exit AirLink, the top part of the Navigator UI (battery, clock, and WiFi) is missing (see attached image), and the only way I've found to get it back is to restart the headset.

This means that it's almost always missing for me, because testing my in-development app via AirLink is the main use of my Quest 3 these days. The missing clock is particularly annoying, because it doesn't show anywhere else (while battery level and WiFi status can still be seen on the Quick Controls menu).

I'm on v2.3.1034, in the PTC.

      Must be a PTC bug, this does not happen on the build version.

      My top menu doesn't vanish when leaving air link.

        No problem here (non-PTC). v2.1.1034.

          Noticed that I got a minor update this afternoon... it was still doing it since then, but after an extra restart, it now seems to be perhaps fixed? I went into and out of AirLink a couple times without the UI top bar disappearing, so hopefully that's that.

          Edit: Nope, still happening.

            I've just had another update, and so far it seems improved. I've entered and exited AirLink a few times, and the top of the UI is still present and visible.

            I'm still on v2.3.1034. My build number is 5208318.2700.520.

              I like the new Navigator interface overall, but this bug definitely needs attention. Losing the battery, clock, and WiFi bar after exiting AirLink is really frustrating especially for developers who use AirLink constantly for testing. Having to restart the headset every time just to restore the UI breaks the whole experience.

              davidbros0078​ I haven't seen that on mine. Are you on v2.3?
