Searching for the mapped object "btnYes" took a long time

I've been running TestComplete for 13 years now. I have over 1100 tests, all created with the recording function and letting TC take care of all name mapping. This is with an Open App. Nothing browse...

    I eventually convinced myself that the problem was indeed that the problematic buttons were not _missing_ any mapping, but TC simply mapped them into the wrong place in the Mapped Object list. These maps were created over 10 years ago, obviously with a very old version of TC.

    I couldn't see any way to edit the mapping (just search criteria), so I deleted the 3 buttons from the main program parent in the Mapped Objects (including their aliases). Then I recorded a little keyword test using the 3 buttons to force TC to create new maps. The new maps went into the correct object, the same as the other buttons that do behave properly, and the problem is solved!

    Thanks to all, I sincerely appreciate the help.
