| Thank you, since I'm not very tech savvy, I will go with the second option,
Gremlins.

a two page order from BrickLink.
The order had been filled, and completed 10 days ago.
The computer had been off and on, as had the printer several times since the
initial order.
How is it that something stays in memory for so long and then just presents itself
to the world, or at least my part of the world?

Printing jobs are sent into a queue (= saved somewhere on your disk) before being
sent to the printer. If the printer doesn’t answer or is interrupted or if the
queue is interrupted or there’s a glitch and it doesn’t know the job was printed
or it forgot it was, it’ll try again later.
It may not try again immediately when the printer is available, something else
may trigger it.
When you add features like:
— multiple printers,
— multiple users / machines,
— pausing,
— auto-retry, etc.,
you also add potentialities for glitches.
Well, that, or it’s gremlins….

they just disappear

pieces I have lost when a part hits the floor. Is there any science behind this?
Could I be the only one?

| In the future for program questions you would go to https://forum.bricklink.com/
or click the link forum link in the splash page of the app.
This is not a glitch. You have hidden all panels and need to go under view and
click show all panels. If you want to just have that show up when you want a
part you can click tab and it will come up until you go back to the main window.
