Not so much a bug as a small annoying quirk which was puzzling at first until I realised what was going on, now it's just annoying.  To be fair it doesn't happen very often.
 
When re-organising a hierarchy by dragging items and dropping them in the place they need to be they can sometimes disappear from the grid.  Unless you get the position exactly right, even then it is easy to just move the mouse slightly whilst releasing the button.
 
This doesn't happen when using the toolbar icons or keyboard shortcuts to move items, only with the mouse.
 
If you don't get the release position right they are not deleted they just disappear from the grid, so where did they go?  This puzzled me at first but I have a grid called 'All' which shows an unfiltered view of all items in the database.  So I looked in there and sure enough there they were.
 
Turns out that if you drop them in the wrong place the flag which says they belong to the grid gets reset and they disappear from the grid.  Just set the flag again and they re-appear as the first items in the grid.

Can you describe how to reproduce this ?

Hmmm ... I don't ever do this intentionally.  It happens by accident and so if it happens and I drag some items to drop them 'on' another item and instead of moving they just disappear then I have to rewind and think 'what did I just do?'
 
It doesn't happen very often now that I am aware of it, before I release the mouse button I pause and look to see that the mouse is in the right position.
 
If it happens again I will try to recall what led up to it.

Actually I wouldn't worry about this too acutely.  It only happens randomly when I'm trying to move things about quickly and nobody else seems to be having a problem so just put it to one side until (if) more evidence accumulates.
 

Hi Paul,

I may have been able to reproduce the issue. In v118Pre6:

  • Fixed: Grid: Drag-Drop / Click on items could sometimes cause the item to be removed from a grid

HTH !
