"Configure Tool Palette" Error, After adding Multi-Row -Field -Column Formula Tool

I found the following error: I added the tool to Designer, and then clicked on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, in order to configure the tools. The "Multi-Row -Field -Column Formula Tool " was added to the "Preparation" tools - when you click on that section, you should see all tools in the Preparation tools section. But the last item you currently see in the right window is the "Multi-Row -Field -Column Formula Tool ", and the scrollbar does not show up, so there's no way to scroll to the tools that come alphabetically after "M". My suspicion is that the presence of this non-default tool is the culprit for the missing scrollbar. There's also no checkbox for the tool. Hope this helps

@mike_w What version of alteryx are you using? I'm using 2021.2.1 and 2020.2.3 and 1) I don't have the same issue as you and 2) mine looks different as it doesn't have the pictures of the individual tools.

@patrick_diganicons pop up when dropdown is activated (at least on my system (2021.2)?

Hi @patrick_digan , I have version 2021.2.1. Interesting to see that you don't have the same error. I just checked it again, still the same

there's ANOTHER weird thing happening in this configuration window: When I open the window, at first it looks like the screenshot that @patrick_digan has posted - without the icons. Let's say I am initially on "In/Out" - no icons. Let's say now I click another section (eg "Join") and then go back to "In-out" - now the icons show up. I observe this behavior in all sections - the first time I click on it, no icons, after that the 2nd, 3rd etc time - with icons.

If I close the "Configure Tool Palette" window, and re-open it, the behavior starts all over.

But regardless, I do not have access to any tools beyond the "Multi-Row -Field -Column Formula" Tool bc the Scrollbar is missing, and the tool has no checkbox in front of it. I noticed that the tool shows a red "D" in the lower left corner (but not for @patrick_digan ), what does that mean?

@mike_w interesting, I now see what you mean about switching categories and I'm having the same thing where the icons pop up after I switch. But I do have a scrollbar showing so everything is working on my end.

As for the D red, that's just part of my custom icon for that macro. The crew macros used a red C, so I went for a red D.
