Buttons disappearing from page [fixed]

Twice I have built a page in live with a 100+ buttons and when I have closed the program and re-opened it the page is still there but the buttons have all but disappeared. I built 255 scenes for the X and Y of each of the two fixtures I am using for this programme and then put into Live the range of what I need for each fixture, typically 90 to 140 scenes for each axis and 20+ for each of the fine pan and tilt.
I put those into Live, organize them as I see fit and then select what I need for my Macro.
But as I said for the second time Live has the page but the buttons are no where to be seen when I re-open the programme after logging out. Any ideas?

I have also checked my home files and all the scenes are in there noted with button number, location, etc. So why aren't the buttons showing up on the page in Live?

In present Live program, a page can store max 255 buttons.
In the beta version + the ZIP files (http://download.thelightingcontroller.c ... ware/beta/), a page can now store more than 255 buttons.
If you change the file "home_directory/TheLightingController/LightShows/Johnny Wad 2012/Live/live.ini" by the attached file, you will see all the buttons (with the beta software + ZIP files only).

I went through the steps you instructed. It fixed 1/3rd of the problem. So I did a fresh re-install of the beta version, beta live fix and the .ini Live.rar in this thread. It fixed it all but one thing. On my last column of that live page my Macro space holder button is missing but a space is there like a button is invisible. I can work with it for now but if you would like to take a look at my files let me know.
Also the Control Board only has Setup, Editor, Pixels, Live and 3D. No Settings link, Import/Export link , Forum link, Manual link or the one I will really need: The Dmx & Midi Patch link

Additional Info: The page that I was having trouble with had 256 buttons. The patch made all the buttons reappear but the 256th one. It was a space holder anyhow so no harm, no foul. I just have an invisible space holder.
Any other page I create with 255+ buttons works as expected.

Another update: The "invisible button" has disappeared as I moved other buttons in the same column past it. So it seems to be good. So the only thing now is what I stated before:

This fix seems to be working fine but because I need the DMX & Midi Patch to do my shows this weekend I went back to v6.291 and reduced all my pages to less than 255 buttons for now.
Thanks and I still look forward to greater than 255 buttons in Live in the next version as I do still intend to use it for up to 4 pages in Live per show of the 3 primary shows I do.

Well look at that! Sorry I missed that.
I am back to the beta version as laid out in this thread.
Thank you. This is truly fixed and closed as a matter. :D
