Messed up my legacy pattern blocks

I messed up my legacy pattern blocks I think and I would really like to get them back :/. I feel like such a noob and this is probably a really quick fix but I don't know what I did and I've been trying to fix it for an hour and I've had no luck so far. Here's a screeny and it even shows I have them on but it isn't there :/.

I will be forever grateful to whoever can help me fix this!
Thank you in advance.

Using the blocks is dumb anyway, just use clips at the top. Much easier to slice and shit like that.

but when you load up old projects (pre-clips) its automatically blocks :P.

Thanks for such the speedy responses! I'm using FL Studio 10 I don't know if that helps? I also do not have that bar at the bottom? Ahh I'm so confused :/.

You sure? click the on/off button for blocks a few times, does something flash in/out at the bottom? If not.. try doing ... Click down arrow in playlist > Detach.

op take a screenshot again of your playlist, and this time dont cut off the bottom and sides and well show you the bar to drag up on. move your cursor around the area, it should turn to a double pointing arrow when your over the bar.

And I know the bar you guys are talking about but I don't have it? It makes no sense :/

My PC tech guess, is that the screen shot uses the windows screen capture function and those actually brings the windows explorer (you see the start menu part) back into the screens "focus" while doing the screenshot.. just a guess though.

Ive always had the windows toolbar, rando. and OP, make sure FL is maximized, it looks like window height is too much for the screen.

don`t you just set your toolbar to auto-hide?

Although, I never have issue with screenshots bringing the windows toolbar to the front.
That doesn`t actually happen.
If it`s hidden, it`s hidden.
