vst plugin embedding not loading the gui

Working on a theme for LMMS? Post progress and get feedback.
i downloaded a couple of VST's last night, and they loaded and worked just fine in LMMS, gui and all. this morning i load up LMMS and load up the same plugins, and the gui does not display correctly (loading into a rectangular window that does not display the entire gui). after some searching i find several posts and threads about this issue. the most common solution seems to be to go into settings and to change plugin embedding to "no embedding". that works, but i want my plugins embedded for ease of use as i alt-tab between LMMS and other programs on my desktop. other suggestions i saw were uninstalling LMMS, deleting the config file, and reinstalling, which did not work. i also deleted the VST files from my directory and copied fresh ones back in from the zip files, but that didn't work either.

does anyone know how to fix this issue without disabling embedding? i am running LMMS 1.2.2 64-bit on Windows 10 64-bit, if that makes a difference. tia.

No there is no fix. Some VSTs uses an UI builder that needs to have no embedding in LMMS
-I cant see any use-case where you would need to jump uot of a VTS-UI to windows (alt-tab) -Why is that a thing?
