Hi!
I'd be curious about the browser dev console. Could you please send a screenshot of how it looks after you have clicked the T button?

Fixed!
Sorry for the delay in replying.
As BV52 suggested the problem seemed to stem from updates. In particular, it seemed to be related to a failed update (of the page activity) and the system getting "confused with the updating of existing content (libraries section). The steps taken...

Thanks for advice.
