Items disappearing from menus

Sudden anguish : does it happen that menus icons disappear from menus that are too full ? (I seem to have lost both grass and concrete fillers from KOSC parallel parkings...)

The icons outrightly dissapeared or are there, but invisible? Sometimes badly modded ploppable items make parts of the menu invisible and hard to select, but the hidden objects are still there

Otherwise, this could be a conflict in which some exemplar is overriding the menu entries of previous plugins, blocking them from appearing on the menus.

Remember also that the item's positions on the menu are dictated by an ordering number that normally behaves in a relative fashion, so icons can be displaced by the inclusion of some other element that was designed to take a similar or equal position on the menu.

For all of those reasons I've insisted through lots of technical issues and I'm still trying to configure DAMN menus, that are much more controllable for the end user and much easier to use and navigate.

    It's not a case of the invisible icons (when the menu is there but with no images, which sometimes reappear after some scrolling moves, sometimes not.) Although I've had an instance of that, briefly, earlier, but it stopped after two scrolling moves. I'm gonna check with what I added last. Thanks :-)

    EDIT : well, it was ore a question of what I took OUT :-) (the disappeared items where in another folder...stooopid me, should have tought of it at once !) But now I know exactly why menus icons vanish and how to deal with ti ! Thanks again *:)
