Dear Support

I recently decided to add Special Items >> Status Bar to the top of custom control bar 8.

Unfortunately the 'use same size for control bar buttons' does not consider multiples of same size if its to big - and as the added button didnt line up, being visual I removed it.

However, after closing I noticed both 'increase bar distance' and 'decrease bar distance' had changed from the default icons as still exist on the main toolbar to 'IBD' and 'DBT' instead. Button Caption also now includes the letters IBT/DBT.

If I delete IBT/DBT from both and SAVE. On re-opening it has re-appeared.

Many thanks

Update - this is a version issue. On an earlier install all is OK the somewhere between there and V.1991 a programming change has occured that is not allowing Control Bar 8 to display the correct icons.

Sorry getting a little confused - please ignore all reference to bar distance.

Up until the version update I had 2 buttons with default icons in Control Bar 8 that allowed me to 'increase bar thickness' and 'decrease bar thickness.' The icons for them have now disappeared only to be replaced by the letters IBT and DBT. Increase and decrease bar thickness.

I've read all of the information especially as toolbar 8 resulted from my interaction with SC. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to restore or locate the icon link to recover the original icons (where are they).

If I delete IBT/DBT from both and SAVE; one would expect a blank button but instead IBT/DBT re-appears.

Apologies for the confusion over distance and thickness.

Many thanks
