Custom Toolbars in Rhino 8 seem to be having issues. Buttons mysteriously disappear or their own or the macros get deleted. And the appearance changes won’t stick.
I have narrowed down at least 2 repeatable errors:
changing the appearance (image-only, text-only, both image and text) does not save for toolbars
copying a button overwrites the original button. It looks like it is just using the same tool_bar_item guid and I assume when rhino sees more than one instance of the same guid it disregards all but the last one.
I made a little demo video of the reproduceable problems

Hi Will - thanks - there have been fixes here in the last few days that I am testing now - I’ll see if they handle this.
Here’s part of it - the first item you show - I suspect that will be a tough one to solve actually, even though it looks obvious… Please see if I have correctly described the problem. RH-81160 Container properties not saved in rui
For now you may want to set this at the button level, which I think is proplerly saved.
Thanks for adding bug tickets for these. It looks like your descriptions are good.
I suspected that the menu appearance problem might be something unfortunate like that characteristic not actually being stored in the RUI file. When I look at RUI files in a text editor I can’t find any reference to the appearance value outside of the individual buttons’ values.
I have happened upon a few other issues with toolbars but I haven’t fully figured out what is happening or been able to reliably reproduce them yet. Once I do I will post more details with, hopefully concise video examples.
