QMetry stores a few user preferences to the user’s browser application storage/local storage. Rarely, due to some corner cases or network glitches, such preferences do not get updated or removed via UI operations. If these preferences cause any issues during QMetry operations, then they can be removed following the below steps.

Step 2: Navigate to the Application tab. On the left panel, select Storage > Local Storage > instance base URL and then click on the clear all button. This will clear the saved user preferences. Please refer to the screenshot below:

Step 3: Refresh the page and verify if the issue is resolved at your end.
