Yes I did;~/ So many errors flowed past I felt sure
that perhaps the SME7 flavour of the command was
different. It's a command I have noted in my audit
notes to 'redo' the control panel's line items and I
remember it sorted out various accumulated glitches.
You are right is sometimes does even out glitches, but I have seen a lot of contribs causing error messages from the Lexer on expanding the server-manager templates, as I had no time in trying to discover which of the many contribs caused this event I let it rest, instead of determining where the error was.
Sometimes an error might results in failure of the kind you describe. Maybe we can pinpoint more exact which contrib is causing your problems.
Did you recently install any contribs?
Which one installed something in the server-manager panel?
Of this group which are still visible? Missing one or more?
