Storyline keeps changing my slide order

I have been working in a project for a few weeks and just noticed at some point Storyline360 changed my slide order. See in the attached image that slide 1.12 and 1.13 are not sequential. Initially ...

Hi, I was just wondering if it will be worth looking at your sates?

I just came upon a similar problem and discovered that I accidentally once copied a textblock with an active trigger to a state, and this caused the problem as Storyline was trying to adhere to both tirggers, the actual one and the one in the state.

I hope that makes sense?

Thank you for that suggestion, but the problem is not with the triggers. It's just that as I'm editing triggers in, say slide 4.8, I notice a flash in the scene panel and then I later find slide 7.6 is suddenly orphaned and no longer in sequence. In scene 7 it is suddenly hovering by itself in the corner. And I wasn't even working on scene 7. Also, if slide 7.6 has a sequence after it (7.7, 7.8, and 7.9 all part of the chain) the entire sequence may become orphaned. In some cases, it will not become orphaned, but it may be moved to a completely different position. I can find no cause and have made sure I am working locally, and Storyline is up to date. To reduce the chance of it happening, I no longer use "Next Slide" but designate the specific slide that should be next. So far that is working, but I need more testing to see if it is a permanent solution.
