Ribbon tab missing from workspace

[JerryFiedler]

Greetings,

I have searched using google but I cannot find the right words to describe my issue.  I was having trouble with a line of lisp code that had a space in the file name.  I know there are volumes of posts regarding this issue but after days of reading I simply decided to avoid the entire issue and renamed my folder by removing the space.  Of course this required redefining all my search paths along with all other references to the old name in the OPTIONS dialog box.  Not a problem, it is only a few folders.

My system has worked for years and I am no stranger to the CUI but today I am stumped.  This problem only raised its head this morning after I changed the folder names.

 

I have a workspace "Jerry" (the only one I ever use); a partial customization file "Dundee";  a ribbon tab "Drafting" in "Dundee".  This morning "drafting" was not visible in "Jerry" workspace.  Right clicking in the ribbon area showed the list of available tabs but "drafting" was not there.  Oddly "drafting" was visible in the workspace "Drafting and Annotation" the autoCAD default (I believe).

 

I went to the CUI, clicked workspace "jerry", clicked "customize workspace", made sure the "dundee"  "drafting" tab was checked in the left side of the CUI.  As expected the "drafting" ribbon tab showed up in the workspace.  Clicked "Done", "apply" and "ok".  Still no "drafting" ribbon visible or in the right-click list. 

 

I went back to CUI, clicked workspace "jerry" and the "Drafting" ribbon tab is there.

 

Please, what have I forgotten to do?

Solved!!  To solve the issue I duplicated the "Jerry" workspace to "Jerry1" and added the "Dundee" ribbon.  Lo and behold, the ribbon was there after closing the CUI.  I have no idea why that fixed it.  If any of you have thoughts on the issue I would like to hear them.

A good idea after making any workspace changes is resave that workspace changing and not saving restarting etc and changes not there. I have Autosave workspace set to off so can not do something silly.
