I just upgraded from 1.2.2 to 1.2.4. When I reopened the project I’ve been working on, I was presented with a list of recovered items. This made no sense to me, but it seems most of the items are duplicated from the Sticky Menu. I simply deleted these duplicates that were inserted in my project but now three “recovered items” persist and I can’t get rid of them. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/2/b29a7e735e8422ef256420cd4798325453b54b63.png) These three buttons at the top appear to have been added as “recovered items” from the menu and I cannot remove them. I don’t know why anything was “recovered”, I don’t know what that suggests went wrong, but the inability to remove these has me wondering if I need to copy everything into a new project (easiest, but cumbersome and I assume not normal, so any suggestions on what is broken in my project?) ---

If you click on the link icon for these button once, then this item can be deleted afterwards, I think. ---

Point me to a known issues list if one exists publicly and I’ll review before posting in the future. I tried to search this forum before posting in case it was a known bug. Sorry to take-up bandwidth, but I appreciate the solution how to fix it, too. ---
