2. Save page (cmd+s)
3. Matrix field was deleted, not hidden

Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce this. Can you send in a support ticket to [email protected] with a database backup so we can try with your DB?

I noticed the same problem on a website with Craft RC6. Disabled blocks of matrix fields are deleted when saving the page. It is interesting that it does not appear on another website (also Craft 3 RC6). The difference is that one website is multilingual (where the problem occurs) and the other is not.

Ah thanks @abinggeli! Able to reproduce it now.

[brandonkelly]

And fixed. Thanks guys.

Similar problem in Craft CMS 2.6.3019

Works fine in the default en_US environment/locale. But when using other locale the block disappears instantly when disabled (not when saving).

@herrajon Sounds unrelated. Can you please post a new issue with specific steps to reproduce?

[herrajon]

Will do

@brandonkelly No need to worry

I am using a plugin, Matrix Colors to color my matrix blocks. That is all good. But.

A little bogus there. I had some old definitions inside the plugin; The colors for the matrix blocks are define by the blocktype there. Some blocktypes no longer existing where defined.

I removed those old definitions and voila. My lost and I thought deleted blocks reappeared.

Things back to normal. Now you only need to worry about 7.714 things.

Hah! Glad you got it sorted :) You may want to submit an issue the bug at the Matrix Colors repo though.
