Hello together,  
I've just installed Node Red on Docker (using WSL). Unfortunately, the objects disappear after I drop them into the workspace.

They are literally there, I can identify them in the info section. Also, I can export the flow and import it to another Red-Node application. It must be my node red application.

I'm using Node-Red v3.0.0 and JSON v16.16.0

Problems like this will be related to the browser rather than runtime/docker etc.

What browser are you using (including version)? There is a known issue with Safari 15.3 that looks similar to this. We know that is fixed with the latest Safari 15.5.

If you're using a different type of browser, please share the details - and please also check the browser's javascript console for any error messages.

Hello [knolleary](https://discourse.nodered.org/u/knolleary),  
thank so much. I feel really dump.

The problem occured with Firefox. By using Edge the problem is solved.  
Thank you!

It would be handy to know what version of Firefox you were using.
