also tooltip of button that open's Workspace Settings says "Add new Mod Element"
Issue comments
I have imported your workspace and settings window looks fine in my 1.8.2 install. For the tooltip typo, I will fix it in next update.
Did you redownload the MCreator after the patch was released? I suggest you do a clean install with a fresh download from the website because both of the bugs you reported were fixed in 1.8.2 patch.
On which platform does this happen?
And is there an option for .mcr of this workspace so I can try to replicate this?
