Q: Aperture 3 Keywords missing from HUD, but not from images

I wanted to move all my sublevel keywords to the top level. So I created a temporary top level keyword and place all of my keywords under that. After they were all there, I dragged all of them to the top level. Then, they all vanished! Here's the weird thing: The images still register the keywords. Not only that, but when I begin to type one of the vanished keywords, apertured shows it in the suggestion list. I really want to see the keywords in the HUD. Is there any way for me to bring them back. Perferably, without clearing the keywords on the images.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

A:

Can you see your missining keywords in the Keywords HUD, if you type a part of a missing keyword into the search field? Sometimes it happens that by dragging a keyword you accidentally drop it below another keyword and then it will be hidden below one of your other keywords. If you can find your keywords this way, try to drag them to their proper place. But if even the search field cannot find them, then your Library may need repairing; I'd recommend to fix your Library using the First Aid as described in:

Repairing the database fixed this problem, but this is a repeatable bug (I managed to make the keywords completely disappear on purpose several times). Is there any place I can report this? I'll take screenshots and whatnot for clarity, of course.

Use the Aperture Application menu:
Aperture -> Provide Aperture Feedback

This will open a Webpage with a Feedback Form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

How exactly do you make them vanish?

If you select a set of keywords to move, then drop them into a selected keyword, the keywords will vanish from the Keyword HUD. They will still appear on the images and if you export the keyword list, you will see the vanished keywords there.

Can you confirm that the keywords do not appear when you click the disclosure triangle to the left of the parent keyword in the HUD?
