Cryptic Error Message When trying to Delete Images On a Page (PW 3.0.139)(Solved)

Hello Dear PW Gurus.

Hope you fair well in these Corona Crisis times.

Anyhow, i have a problem with a Cryptic error message that shows up when i am trying to Delete images out of a Images field.
The Error message does say a little but it does not make sense to me why i can´t delete the images because of it.

Is it some permission issue perhaps?

I will attach screenshots of it and what i did prior to it.
I am from sweden so ignore the funny words here and there.

Hope you all can send me on the right track.

i am running PW 3.0.139 on this install.

Step1:

Step 2: Select the images with the trashcan symbol

Step 3: Cryptic Error message

I am scratching my head on this one, have not seen this before.

Thankfull for all help.

It looks like you have a textformatter enabled for file descriptions. Try to de-activate that HTML purifier textformatter.

Hello Dragan.

Thanks for getting back to me, i tryed disabling the formating option you talked about but the same error message shows up.

Strange, i don´t get why.

I did some more investigating because no one seems to know why the error is happening.

I did the following.

1. Created an empty template file and uploaded to my PW install.
2. Created a completly new image field
3. Assigned that new image field to my template

4. i Created a hidden page with that template with the new image field
5. Uploaded five test images to that field on that page, saved it
6. Started edit on that page and deleted a random image

And for some strange reason there was no error message this time.

But the problem resists on the Page i mentioned in my original post.
Is there some kind of corruption somewhere i should look for?

Maybe i have to remove the page and add it again?

Now i have done the following:

I think the offending party in this drama was that "Images" field in the orignal Template.

I made a new template and a new Images field and transfered images to that, and now it seems to work fine.

Do not now why that Images field became corrupt, perhaps after an update to 3.0.139?

Made more testing with the what i thought was the "offending" images field in the first post.

And now i created a new test template and added that field to it and tested uploading images to it on a test page.

All of a sudden, no error message and the image was deleted as expected.

So this is just a very confusing event.

I am just glad that its seems to work again.

Wanted this thread to be here in case someone else got this problem and wanted a clue to how to solve it.

Also Enabling or Disabling the HTML Encoding formating for Filedescription output does not seem to mather which was the first thought after the tip by Dragan.

I just leave this here as info for others.
