Clone and Delete Missing from Advanced Actions Window

So, I was just chugging along using the new advanced actions feature in CP5. All of a sudden, I went into to clone one of my advanced actions and the clone and delete buttons are off the screen. I cannot resize the window so I cannot get to the clone feature. I called support and they used the cop out line that this is a file specific issue. He response was to post here or start over on my project. I am sure you can appreciate how unaccptable that response is for me after putting over 100 hours into the development of this project.

Any suggestions, ideas, or if anyone else has run into this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Please, Eric, I do not understand totally what happened. I suppose with 'clone' you do mean the Duplicate action button? Were you able to save the action and reopen the dialog box of Advanced actions? Is it the dialog box that got crazy? Could you post eventually a screenshot? Want to understand what happened, never had something like that and spent quite a lot of hours with Advanced actions too.

Lilybiri,

You are correct. The "Duplicate Action" button had slid off the side of the dialog box. The "Delete Action" was nearly off the side of the box. So, I decided to go in and start to delete actions to see if it fixed the problem. At the bottom of my actions pull-down, there were two previous duplicates that I had made. As I deleted each one of those, the two missing buttons gradually with each deletion slide back to the left into their proper place in the dialog box. The only thing I can surmise is that it has to do with the length of the name of the advanced actions. That is causing the box to slide to the right and pushing those options off the box. I have attached a screen shot.
