Can't Return "Selected/Sat Upon" Objects

Sim/Region owner can't return objects from parcels that are selected/sat upon. They appear to be invisible, but can't be seen with Ctrl+ Alt + t. Do not show up under "List" items in land settings. But we can bump into them, as if they were invisible but not phantom.

Has occurred on 2 different sims in same region.

Any advice?

Thanks!

In the past, the problem you are describing could be fixed with a sim restart. With all of today's issues, who knows?

But I believe 'fixed' in these cases means the ghost prims will be deleted. The items will not be returned to their owners.

Ghost prims sounds like the problem the OP is having. They can't be seen, clicked, or listed in the land tools. Only collided with. If there were some actual items to be returned, they should be showing up in the list.

Head to the SW corner (0,0,0), see if you can find anything there :P

From what you have described, a sim restart would either clear the "ghost" prims (or bring in more).

Seems to be more frequent at the moment. I had 38 of them in a small sandbox yesterday - boring bumping into things which you can't see, even with transparency turned on. Restarting the sim zapped them - I'd go with that.
