Missing "Move to Personal Library" from menu

My wife and I have a shared photo library, and each our personal library. For some reason the option to Move selected photos from the shared to personal library on her phone no longer appears in the menu after selecting some photos. She had thousands,and I was able to move 99 at a time before, after which the button disappeared that was to the right of the trashcan, presumably because the font was too big in portrait orientation on the iPhone 13 (IOS 17 now). When I turned the telephone in landcape, the button reappeared and then I could move more than 99 at a time. I did this a few times, and now when I try to move more/the rest of them to personal lib so she can batch-download them (Can't select more than 1 from shared lib and download en masse with the icloud.com website), I dont have an element in the list of choices to move to Personal anymore. Why why why?

Good thinkng, swandy. I went to my own phone, seleced Shared library, and was able to select and then move the remaining shared pictures to my own personal library (then moved to my loptop and off to my NAS). Thanks!

Just played with my iPhone 15 and apparently if the photo was originally added to the Shared Library by another user (let's say you), then the other user's (like your wife) cannot move it to THEIR personal library. I just tried it with three photos that were taken by my better-half and added to the Shared Library from her iPhone 15 and while I can see them on my iPhone, I cannot add them to my personal library.
