Here’s a video. Frankly, the text items were simply disappearing on their own. But I can recreate it with this adding a component trick. Undoing after adding the modal here does not restore the Text components. ---

We’ll keep an eye on this, but a restart of Elements should fix it. ---

Restarting does not, same problem. I’m on 1.2.5. Note that Elements also crashed on me yesterday. I was flustered enough by that and I failed to save the report to send to you. MacOS 15.6.1. ---

Working from a different location today so on my laptop rather than desktop (ie., an entirely separate Elements install). Same problem. Maybe I can share my project? If so, paste here? ---

Sounds like there may have been an issue with Undo. [Share your project via Elements Cloud](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-cloud/account-sign-up), and paste the link here! ---

Here’s a video of another strange anomaly. I’m really having trouble setting up the footer…. ---

Elements just crashed as I went to try to save my project to then save a copy to post here. Restarted Mac, here’s the project: [elementsapp://downloadDocument/CTZaNuAdwVQ4](elementsapp://downloadDocument/CTZaNuAdwVQ4) ---

Elements just crashed again working on that project, report was auto sent. I will try to work on other sections, but hopefully you can figure out what is triggering all the issues when working in that footer. ---

More strange behavior in Footer. One modal element just doesn’t accept Content…. Others do. @dan
