I pasted the raw HTML from [here](https://ace.c9.io/#nav=embedding) into a raw HTML Component.
Now I have a buggily-overlapping, non-movable, non-editable, non-deletable, non-rendering Component stuck in my Unit. (All other Components are still editable and movable.)
Any ideas on how to delete this other than to copy all my Components into a new Unit, and delete this Unit? (Thus breaking all my /jump\_to\_id/ links…)

A minimal test case that seems to break things is the following in a raw HTML block:
```auto
function foo(items) {
var x = "All this is syntax highlighted";
return x;
}
```
Note, I’m running Tutor, Lilac, and the indigo theme, incase any of that matters.

Caveat: I do not know if this is the _best_ way to do this, but you could export your course - giving you an archive file of OLX. You could find the unit in the OLX, delete it, and then reimport the archive. I’d do this import into a test course first. See [4. OLX Course Structure — EdX Open Learning XML Guide - Alpha Version documentation](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-open-learning-xml/en/latest/directory-structure.html) for more on OLX

I suspect that the raw HTML component is sandboxed such that you can’t put that code in the raw HTML. How are you trying to load the library they mention? (`Get prebuilt version of ace from ace-builds repository`)

Thanks for the ideas. I just ended up recreating my unit. So at this point it’s more about the fact that there’s some sort of weird bug here.
Re how I was trying to load the library, I just checked out the code they said and put `/ace-builds/` onto the root of my web server’s www directory. But given that the minimized div test case breaks the page without any reference to ace.js, I suspect that’s besides the point.

Instead of copy you can “Move” from the course Outline.

I don’t know what you mean. How can you move a component from within a unit from the course outline?

Indeed, you can only do it from the Unit itself:
Thanks.
