PROBLEM
The Symbol Selector dialog box displays a palette of symbols and basic symbol properties that allow users to create new symbols or make changes to existing symbols in a map in ArcMap. If the buttons in Symbol Selector overlap, users cannot click the buttons to proceed with editing, resetting, or saving the settings.
The overlapping of buttons may be caused by one of the following:
• Resized Symbol Selector dialog box
• Corrupted Symbol Selector dialog box
Note: Close all Esri applications running in the system before proceeding to the options below.
Option B: Rename the ESRI folders in the User Profile
