Timeline Ribbon Missing / Empty Scrollspace

After adding an era to a timeline for testing purposes and then deciding not to use it and deleting it again, the timeline ribbon (connector between events) immediately went completely missing. It is still properly created/expanded on other timelines.   Additionally, there is now an enormous empty space (approx. the same size of the event-filled area) below the last timeline event that is still scrollable but bears no content.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the issue are suspected but not certain:

1. Have a pre-existing timeline. 2. Create two eras for that timeline. 3. Immediately delete the eras again. 4. Timeline Ribbon missing + Empty space below the last timeline event.

The empty space is not displayed on the actual World View, the missing ribbon though is.

I have the same problem and for me the empty space is still displayed on the actual World View. This is going on since the last update and there is still no solution to this. The emty space are also present when I try to create a new timeline.

Hey there mikolaszko!   Yeah, it seems like the ribbon-issue is fixed! There is still some blank space below the last timeline entry, but far less than before, to a completely acceptable extent. Thank you! Is there any insight on why that happened or how to

We recently made an update (more technical than visual on the dev team side) to timelines and it's always the case with ports that its hard to catch everything all at once due to limited testing sample / changes in environments so we are just fixing some leftovers pretty much :]
