Disappearing elements

I have been away from Facer for about 8 months and have read about issues with the platform. On my first day back, it is doing some weird things. Not sure if it was always there but I don’t remember it happening before.

For example, clicking on an element to rename but it disappears? I was able to exit unsave and try again and it worked. But it has happened a few time.

Physically click on the name disappears the element. Not right clicking and selecting delete. Or it almost appears to re-order the elements around it.

Yeah . Creator is a bit Buggy right now . What you have going on sounds like a bug in the Grouping utility . I am not using creator much at the moment .

How the heck do you delete this if you can’t get to the delete button?

Ok I figured it out. I have to move the element up so that the full dropdown list can show up. Weird. Klugee.

That works except on the very bottom element when there are several. It always wants to show up below where you can’t click it. On those I just select it by tapping on it and then hit the delete button on my keyboard.

Figure out which hot key (keyboard shortcut) it is and use that. It’s right in the menu (well, if the menu is fully visible). I’m a keyboard guy to begin with, so I’m always looking for the hot keys.

DEL who would have thought. I’m not much of a hot key button guy.

I’m also a command line guru. When the new kids see me open a command prompt in Windows and start doing my thing, they freak out.
