Recycle Bin
Nothing that I delete shows up in the Recycle Bin.
Yes, I have verified that the bin is big, and that I have not checked the box for automatic deleting without going to the bin.
If I click to empty the bin, it shows there is stuff in the bin (by asking whether I really want to delete the 3 items). If the bin display is open when I delete, the item shows up.
I have deleted the Recycle Bin to create a new one. No help from that.
So it is definitely a display problem. But it is a display problem that makes the Recycle Bin absolutely useless.
