Disappearing Container Field Objects

Hello,

I have a FM database that has many different tables. On one layout I have two container fields. On another layout I have one more container field. Everything was working fine until all of the sudden, opening a PDF in a container and then closing it and then clicking out of the container hides/deletes the icon from the layout. (All of the PDF links work this way now.) If a user clicks on the white container space it will open the file again (even though you can't see it anymore). What is going on? Can there be something other than a corrupt file to consider?

Greg

PS: There are no scripts to my knowledge that reference these fields in any way. Also, when the link object vanishes the file size goes down 4k. Since the now "invisible" link still works, is the 4k just the icon?
