deleting column causing other columns to move :-O

Hello Bert,

I've noticed recently that when I delete a column from a gradebook page,* nearby column(s) often jump to a different area on the same page. At first I thought I had accidentally erased the wrong column, but that's not the case. It happens at exactly the same time the selected column is erased, but it doesn't happen every time I erase a column. I haven't been able to determine if it's only happening in particular situations, or if it's random.

Whatever it is, it didn't happen before. Has anybody else noticed this odd (and somewhat worrisome) behavior? (I obviously don't want to lose any data.)

Since it's just started recently, I'm wondering if it's related to the last OS update, like the odd camera behavior mentioned in another recent post by another user (the camera viewfinder in iDoceo has also started rotating the image 90 degrees, but the resulting photo is oriented correctly).

Kathleen
*I'm deleting the columns by choosing "erase" from the pop-up menu that appears when I tap and hold at the top of a column, in case that might provide a clue to what's going on

Hi Kathleen,
Give this a try: from the tools button on top bar / Columns / Change the position of any column , tap on OK. Repeat the process and put it back in place.
This should consolidate the current position of all your columns and deleting columns won't (hopefully) change others.

Thanks Bert.

I'll give that a try and get back to you... After I've finished my report cards :)

(I know I have fewer groups and students than the music teachers on this list, but have about 500 grades to turn in, for ~250 students in the next week. I can't tell you how much using iDoceo is making my work more manageable. Thank you for creating such a helpful app!)
