Hi, for some days/weeks, I have the feeling that some of my components are disappearing from the screen editor. At the beginning, I thought that it was me who unintentionally deleted them; but it happened many times, so I start to have my _doubt_. Did some of you experience the same? ---

For my part I don’t experience this. Wonder what happens for others. ---

I find that whenever I add a new Glide table it takes a while to “settle down”. What I mean by that is that as soon as a start adding new columns they’ll sometimes disappear almost as quickly as I add them. The same with re-naming or removing the default columns that come with a new Glide table. I’ll delete or re-name a column and then watch the change revert in front of my eyes. This almost always happens in the first 10-15 minutes after I’ve created the table. After that, it’s generally fine. Having said all that, this mostly happens in one specific app, which is a bit of a monster. I just had a quick look in the manifest, and it has: - 66 tables - 1535 computed columns - 21k rows Sometimes I wonder if I’m starting to push the limits in terms of computed columns and I’m half expecting the whole thing to implode one day 🤪 But how many is too many? 🤔 (maybe I’m on my way to finding out) ---

I experienced odd behaviour yesterda, and I don’t know if I was too tired and I was dreaming, but did some modifications, checked on the real app and they weren’t being displayed, checked the editor and they were gone… ---

Yes, it happens quite often for a long time… i duplicated all my apps every time i made progress. it already saved me view times ---

I’ve had it twice today, and these times I’m quite confident that it was not a mistake. I cannot reproduce it and don’t know what’s the trigger: it happens on any types of component (choice, inline…), whether the app is in production or not, and probably (but not sure), rather on details screen. Very critical **IF** it is confirmed as a bug since a key component of our apps could disappear any time. @Mark, have you already heard about this? In case you want to audit, the link to my app for support [Glide](https://go.glideapps.com/support/591f74c6-3522-424e-abf1-90d9fc1e712d) Thanks ---

I just had a whole Glide Table disappeared…gone, out, kaput. I’ve closed the editor, reopen it, refreshed it, but it ain’t there!! And also experienced some components duplicating…alone. The Glide Ghost is around us ---

Speaking of ghosts… i also experience random values appearing in random columns, very rare… but it happens ---

Thank you David, do you need some support tickets? [https://go.glideapps.com/support/9a99365c-37b7-436c-8b08-e9c77f34e9d9](https://go.glideapps.com/support/9a99365c-37b7-436c-8b08-e9c77f34e9d9) In case you do…this is the one that has one glide table gone ---

And also experienced some components duplicating…alone. The Glide Ghost is around us This happened to me a couple of times a few months ago. What I found was the table was still there, but it had become decoupled from my app. By searching for the table, I was able to link it back to the app and all columns I’d created were still there. Associated components were gone, but at least I was able to recover the table. Worth a try in your case? ---

Yea, the components are still there…somehow, but I don’t see the table. Scared of touching anything 😂 ---

I have another fun one: sometimes, the columns are there, but the rows have disapeared. They re-appear if we close-open the app. Et voilà Glide-Potter! ---

Yes, I’ve seen that as well. Sometimes, I’ll create a new Glide table and manually add data to 2 or 3 rows. Then a minute or two later, the rows will disappear. So I add them again. And then 5 minutes later, I find 2 of each row that I’ve added 🤪 ---

Hey, I may have found a lead! - I was working on my screen and had a **component selected** - Then I moved to the dataeditor by using the link from the screen (see picture) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/4/04796abb2090b51a29013a7e4b08b9e30964d41d.jpeg) - In the dataeditor, I deleted a value in a field (an USC by the way). - When I came back to the screen, the component which was initially selected was **deleted** =\> Assumption: since a component selection remains when we go & back to-from the GDE, a delete action has an impact on the components…
