* After upgrading my cancel-and-close button no longer works. (the circle with the x)

(I then tried deleting telmiger's editbuttons plugin thinking there might be an incompatibility but strangely even after I deleted the plugin, and closed and re-loaded the tiddlywiki, all buttons are still showing up, even though plug-in is now missing from plug-in list. Also the cancel/close button still doesn't work.

I also tried re-installing telmiger's plugin, but cancel/close button still doesn't work.)

* Also after upgrading, in edit mode the field name text box now stretches the length of the tiddler, pushing the down arrow and field name box down to the next line.

It happened during the upgrade because I found the last backup of my tiddlywiki before the upgrade, verified that it did not have those two problems, then I re-uploaded and the two problems appeared again.

Hello,

Don't you have the Stroll edition? Because it looks like this thread : https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/Btso8q3Okzo/m/bKA4C9Q9BgAJ

I do not have the Stroll edition. However I have the TWcrosslinks plugin 0.1.19 (if I'm reading the tiny print right).

I tried deleting $:/config/ui/EditTemplate per your link above and then upgraded, but it still broke the cancel button. I also tried deleting $:/config/ui/EditTemplate on an already upgraded version but the cancel button stayed button.

I find I don't use the TWcrosslinks plugin much. I will try deleting it. But is deleting it a simple matter of deleting $:/ak/plugins/TWCrossLinks? Will that get rid of all the tiddlers included in the plugin? Or must I delete each of the included tiddlers before deleting the plugin tiddler?

Here is the list of all my other plugins:

These are disabled:

Evernote migration tools
Horizontal Story River
Relink - flexibility when relinking renamed tiddlers (didn't realize this one was disabled, will re-enable)
Spreadsheet-like formulas in TiddlyWiki.
Todolist for quick and short todo and tasks

OK, whaou that's a lot of plugin ^-^'

So if I'm guessing right, after re-read your first post, it's about EditButtons plugin from Thomas Elmiger (https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html)
Just try in a fresh empty 5.1.23 and it works for me.
Maybe try to reinstall it.

(yes when you delete a plugin on single file, delete for example $:/plugins/telmiger/EditButtons and reload your TW file to finish the process).

Hope it help.

NB : Thomas if you read this, there is a side effect/glitch on readme tiddler on too big SVG image with my test on clean install.

It is impossible to delete Telmiger EditButtons plugin!

In not yet upgraded wiki:

I deleted the telmiger editbuttons plugin.
telmiger editbuttons continued working!
Just to make sure I saved, closed and reloaded my wiki.
All telmiger editbuttons still present and functioning!

Then I typed "telmiger" in system search box:
All these tiddlers still present!


I delete each one of those tiddlers manually.
Telmiger editbuttons continued working!
Just to make sure I saved, closed and reloaded my wiki.
The tiddlers deleted are still deleted.
BUT all telmiger editbuttons present and working even though plugin and all those tiddlers deleted!

The only tag on those tiddlers is $:/tags/image

There is no toolbar tag to delete.

That's very strange.
(hope you work on copy).

How did you delete it ?

I don't see anything wrong here, because there seems to be no error otherwise (without the possibility to see what happens with your file if it is not publishable).

Perhaps there is corruption in other areas that interferes with and prevents the proper functioning of TW.

If you want to investigate manually, simply look at tiddler names of the plugin (content tab from source https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2FEditButtons)
(also, it's shadow tiddler when plugin is on, not system as you search it, have a look if there here).
