Change the initial object of a state in timeline ? Bug ?

Hello,
A colleague of mine used a lot of pictures with text inside (to have better control to the design). Of course this is a nightmare for maintenance and accessibility. Now I have to change the text and I revert those pictures to Storyline shaped objects. But I stumbled upon a problem while doing so :
As those images have states (because they are answers to a quiz), when I replace them with a shape, the original image of the set of states is kept as the object, even if I delete the original image.
Thus, the object is not selectable anymore. Is there a way to change the initial object in a set of states ?
For now I'll recreate all the sets but I'd like to have a better option because this is time-consuming !!!

Hi Joel,
Thanks for asking about this! We would love to look into this for you! Would you be willing to share your file here or with our support engineers privately in a support case?
I had the same problem today and came here to the Articulate community for support. From another article/posted issue, I got the suggestion to check on the settings and make sure that “revert back to initial state” was not selected. I changed my settings and it seemed to make the problem go away, but I had to stop working on my file right after I quickly previewed the change. However, from the one preview I had time to do after making this change, it seemed like the problem was gone. I had shifted the image a few pixels but apparently that’s not safe to do once you add states, at least not if you use the revert to initial state setting.
Hope this helps!
