Invisible floating copper, deleting deletes entire design
in progress

I was cleaning up a pretty dense design with 4 layers and started seeing a floating copper warning. I had manually re-routed some traces after auto-layout failed to catch some very close traces. Bottom Copper layer. Selecting the trace moved the position of the view but centered in on an empty area. I was able to select the 2 traces by clicking around. As you can see there is a copper pour cavity surrounding them. Right click menu > Delete caused the entire design to be deleted...
I do not have repro steps as I have made hundreds of manual tweaks and I'm not sure when this issue occurred.

Actually I was blocked and didn't realize it. On the PC, now, the original design also is blank. So thanks again!

Hi semiuniversal
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Could you please give user "Support" access to the project for investigation.
Please let me know once you do

collinsemasi Also I entered what may be a related issues into chat in the app - this PCB is now entirely invisible on my Mac. Here's what it looks like on the PC.

Hi semiuniversal
I've recovered a version of your project before the layout got deleted. This version might be a few minutes or hours before you finished your work so please confirm.
Finally, let me know if this unblocks you or you still face the same issues

collinsemasi thanks for creating a new project. That's a good way to do it so that the two versions don't become cross-contaminated. I wasn't actually blocked, I just wanted to look at the design on my Mac and couldn't. On the new project, I discovered that the same issue exists as you probably would expect. I was able to jiggle the mouse in such a way that the two pieces of floating copper are highlighted as points. You can see them right near Net 60 and 61.
I'm getting the board fabbed, so I'll be interested to see how that shows up on the bottom copper. Probably just a hole in the copper pour.
