Restoring altitude display to BaseCamp

When I first loaded BaseCamp there was an overlaid window which showed the points at which the route was calculated and a further option which displayed the altitude and gradient as a graph. It was a bit big and was getting the way of the map today so I just closed it, as I thought. What I seem to have done is deleted it altogether because I can't find any way to restore it. It was quite useful because it was possible to trace along it and see how steep the climb was along the route I'd ridden.

I've tried everything, including uninstalling and reloading to no avail. If I load BaseCamp onto another PC it works as it did before I closed the extra window. Any ideas?

    I found the 'Reset' function under Edit/Options/General and tried that which seems to have cured my problem. I can now clear and restore the window which displays the altitude graph. It appears either by double left clicking (with a R/H mouse - mine's L/H) or right clicking and selecting 'Open' in the displayed options. I'd updated BaseCamp from ver 4.2.5 after opting to accept the update note when I opened the application but don't seem to have lost any of my ride/walking data. Presumably my chosen measurement units will need to be reselected but that's not a big job.

    It still doesn't explain why the error appeared in the first place, of course, which would be interesting to know.
