Hi team,

If we click on the component in the Canvas and then unlink it in the Structure panel, nothing happens. But it is unlinked a second time. Now if we delete the component, orphaned elements will be generated. Please note that clicking on the component in the Canvas is the main point of this bug. If you select the component in the Structure panel, there will be no problem.

Hi @HOSEIN,

thank you so much for the report. I was able to replicate both issues, and I also figured out that the same happens if we select it on the structure panel but unlink it on canvas.

I’ve recorded it in the internal bug tracker.

Thank you,  
Matej
