I’ve just had an issue with a global.

Yesterday I made a page and created a global which consisted of a grid item, section, flexes, image and three separate pieces of text.

I dragged the global into six other the grid items and set responsive breakpoints. Today I went to the page and it’s displaying a blank grid. If I try to drag the global onto the grid, Elements hangs (no error, requires a force quit).

If I go to a new page with a new grid I can drag the global without crashing, but it’s empty - the image and text are gone - not even boxes. My first thought is the global is corrupt but I’m only guessing. Im going to delete the global, recreate it and see how it goes.

Can you email over the broken project ([dan@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:dan@realmacsoftware.com)) so we can try and re-create the issue and get it fixed?
