Environment

Reflection Desktop (including Pro, for IBM, or for UNIX and OpenVMS) 16.0 or higher
Reflection 2014
Reflection Pro 2014
Reflection for IBM 2014
Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS 2014
Reflection for IBM 2011
Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS 2011
Reflection Standard Suite 2011

Situation

Imported toolbar buttons from Reflection version 14 display a label in Reflection Desktop even though original buttons did not have any text associated with the button.

Resolution

If using Reflection Desktop 16.0:
        Upgrade to Reflection Desktop 16.0 SP1 HF12 or higher  (16.0.399)
If using Reflection Desktop 16.1:
        Upgrade to Reflection Desktop 16.1 SP1 or higher

After upgrading the Reflection Desktop version, re-import the legacy Host session file from Reflection version 14 to display the correctly labeled, or non-labeled buttons.

A HotFix (HF) for Reflection Desktop is a cumulatively built product update, intended for limited distribution, which addresses specific customer issues and enhancement requests; outside the regular Development release cycle. It is only available to Micro Focus customers with current software support and maintenance contracts, and only after contacting Micro Focus Customer Support directly.  A HotFix undergoes limited stability and quality testing and is intended for quick release to address specific product issues and should not be deployed to production environments without thorough testing.  It is recommended to upgrade to a full-release or a Service Pack version of Reflection Desktop when it becomes available.

Workaround:

Click on each button in the Ribbon UI Designer and delete the text in the Label field.
