hmm that seems odd. I’ve never seen that error before, have you tried restarting Elements and/or you Mac?

that makes me wonder: what is on the homepage that could be causing this 🤔

If you create a new project with a couple of pages, does it happen on the homepage in the new project?

In a new project it seems to work as it should. For your information, the issue occurs in a project that was imported via “Import Classic Project”.

@ben I created a new homepage and then everything worked fine. It must have been a bug during the import.
