LOL Ralph

Some like me inadvertently remove an instrument from a panel and it gets deleted. Hours of work puffed up in smoke.

Need to recover those oops

Removing it from a panel doesn't remove the instrument. It would only be removed if you do that from the Create/Edit tab.

I do believe there is a bug where a instrument really does get deleted if you are re-arranging instruments in a panel layout and hit the "Delete" key, it actually deletes the instrument altogether. I found this out the hard way.

To recreate this, I highly suggest duplicating an existing instrument, add that duplicate to a new blank panel, then select that instrument in the layout like if you were to move it around and hit the delete key, you'll get a prompt asking if you really want to delete the instrument, and if you say yes, it really does delete it from inventory. But since you are on the panel layout you wouldn't think this actually deletes the instrument.
