I'm at my wit's end about what seems to be an unending stream of issues.  I am constantly  having to interrupt work to try to figure out why some kind of misbehavior is happening.

 

Yesterday I had a long sequence of text made up of big blocks of text.  I did dozens of splits to create a series of items of only a few lines each. 

 

When I returned to work later, all of my splits had been partially re-done.  All the split items were there but all the items they were split from still contained the full text, too.  So I had to go in and delete the extraneous text in each item. 

 

There have been many times that  I split items where a new item is created but the text also remains in the original item.  This, too, has comes and goes.

 

Just now I tried to create a grid with a column set to match another grid.  I loaded the column set for the grid.  The columns that loaded did not match the grid they came from.  Columns were out of order and columns were missing.

 

So I set about creating the layout manually.  This involved grouping columns.  As I was doing this, things went completely crazy.  Column groups started showing up in multiple locations.  Then columns were being substituted into groups I had already created, while other columns were removed from view.  Columns were being assigned and removed from groups without any input from me.

 

Another long-standing problem is having two columns side by side and when I try to group them, the group command is grayed out.  This has happened many times.

 

I don't post 90% of the issues I have because it gets to be pointless as the problems cannot be reproduced, even by me.  They come and go constantly.  I have a list of 27 recurring problems that appear and disappear randomly.

 

I compacted and repaired the database.  I don't what else to try.
