Thanks for the reply Arian.
Unfortunately, I can't really share the project file, though I know that's a reasonable thing to want to see.
Company rules and all
I did an edit in the XML editor, and that seems to have brought the form editor back to working properly.
I dont know whether it was because I used the XML editor and that caused some sort of refresh, or whether it was the edit itself.
The edit was to remove a troublesome character in the name of a test step.
The test step name contained an ampersand like:
"My Test Step PC1&2"
I changed that to
"My Test Step PC1and2"
There was no indication of any problem in the test step itself; only subsequent test steps that referenced that one.
I did eventually realize that several subsequent steps that referenced "My Test Step PC1&2" also had the form editor problem.
The ampersand showed up nicely escaped in the XML editor in the references, but I didnt like it (and thought maybe it was causing trouble), so I changed the name.
I think it was the ampersand that was confusing things.
At this point, I think the issue is resolved unless it pops up again
