When you edit the monster it has no powers etc. When you highlight the monster in the list the delete button is greyed out and will not respond. I have not gone through the whole list of my monsters to see how many have been corrupted in this way. It is a little unnerving as it makes me feel that the saved files are not safe. This and the limited storage space makes me export everything, and there still is no good way to look at exported files. Questions of data integrity and lack of storage are the biggest drawback to the builder at this time and in my opinion serious ones.

I was eventually able to delete the monsters in question (about 3 out of 50 custom monsters were affected) about a week after they got messed up, but I have no idea if I did something to cause this or how I fixed it. It's nice to know it's not just me, but disconcerting too because it means there might be an underlying problem at WotC data center.
