Hi Jeff, Apologies for jumping into your conversation with Tim, but that issue with 1.8 was fixed before the 2.0 release [0]. I recommend, if possible, finding a means of your students running 2.0.1 or 2.2.0, where a user can now just select the items under the View menu. There are a couple workarounds for 1.8 listed on the issue page, however.
If it is some dialog disappearing in the main app, that is probably a separate issue.
