I am unable to delete Object Repository objects from within Tests Explorer in Katalon Studio. Also, when I copy or move objects to new folders by dragging the item, the object does not appear in the new location, even though it has been moved or copied. Closing Katalon Studio and reopening it shows the files moved or copied to the new locations.

I am working on macOS Catalina and recently installed v. 7.7.0. In the previous versions of Katalon Studio, I did not have these problems. This makes working in Katalon Studio cumbersome since I will have to close and reopen Katalon Studio frequently, or I will have to delete unwanted objects manual from my OS.

Hi @rich.svetlik,

Sorry for the inconvenience,
