Layers Issue

Hello, 

While working in a course today I think I accidentally messed up something on slide masters/feedback masters. When I try to add a new layer to a slide, I just get a completely filled in rectangle. Can anyone take a look and help me figure out what happened?

    Hi @SNS HR - I looked at your story and it seems to be OK. You're using two masters, the "chalkboard" and the "fractal" ones, so I didn't see a normal/empty master that you would typically see in a story. It sounds to me like you need to restart SL and/or restart your system, since the behavior you describe seems to be an indicator of a memory issue.

      Unfortunately, that didn't work. Is there a way I can delete the fractal master? I don't need that one for this project.

    Probably the easier path (at this point), depending on how large the project is, would be to start with a blank story and rebuild it scene-by-scene, unless there's a path through the problem that I haven't figured out. (Sorry!)

      Phew, luckily I just figured it out. Seems like there was an accidental "fill" in the background that I was able to remove and now things are good to go.
