Include Topic widget not working

Help Studio Version: 3.5.0.34. No updates since project was purchased.

I have been putting 'Include Topic' widgets inside 'Drop Down Section' widgets to build large, role-orientated topics from lots of smaller topics. The system has worked fine for over a year, but now when I save or publish my project, Help Studio changes the Include Topic code from this:

 

<innovasys:widget layout="block" type="Include Topic">

<innovasys:widgetproperty layout="inline" name="Topic">

Snip_Paths</innovasys:widgetproperty>

</innovasys:widget>

 

into this:

 

<innovasys:widgetproperty layout="block" name="Content">

<div style=

"BORDER-BOTTOM: white 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #ddecfe 2px solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; MARGIN-LEFT: -2px; BORDER-TOP: white 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: -2px; BORDER-RIGHT: #ddecfe 2px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; widget-type: Include Topic; widget-layout: block"

class="InnovaContentWidget" onmouseover=

"if (event.offsetX &lt; 10 &amp;&amp; event.srcElement == this) { this.children[0].style.display='block';} event.cancelBubble=true;"

onmouseout=

"BLOCKED SCRIPTtimerTarget=this.children[0];if (timerTarget.style.display=='block') {if (this.timeoutId) clearTimeout(this.timeoutId); this.timeoutId = setTimeout('try {document.getElementById(\'' + timerTarget.uniqueID + '\').style.display=\'none\'} catch (ex) { }',3000);}"

contenteditable="false">

<div style=

"PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ddecfe; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; WIDTH: auto; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; DISPLAY: none; MARGIN-BOTTOM: -2px; FLOAT: left; MARGIN-LEFT: -3px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; PADDING-TOP: 0px"

class="InnovaContentWidgetBar" on_mouseout=

"BLOCKED SCRIPTtimerTarget=this;parentElement.timeoutId=setTimeout('timerTarget.style.display=\'none\'',3000);"

on_mouseover=

"BLOCKED SCRIPTif (parentElement.timeoutId) clearTimeout(parentElement.timeoutId);">

<strong>Include Topic</strong> <a id="editwidget" title=

"Edit this Widget"><img style="POSITION: relative; TOP: 2px"

id="editwidget" border="0" src=

"C:/Program Files/Innovasys/Common/widgeticons/edit.gif"></a>&nbsp;<a id="deletewidget"

title="Delete this Widget"><img style=

"POSITION: relative; TOP: 2px" id="deletewidget" border="0"

src="C:/Program Files/Innovasys/Common/widgeticons/delete.gif"></a>

</div><img src=

"C:/Program Files/Innovasys/HelpStudio3/Configuration/icons/include.gif">&nbsp;Include:

Snip_Paths<span style="DISPLAY: none; VISIBILITY: hidden" id=

"Topic" class="WidgetProperty">Snip_Paths</span>

</div>

</innovasys:widgetproperty>

 


As a result, the included topic does not appear in the published Webhelp. Instead, I just get a line saying, "Include Topic Include: Snip_SchemesAndResources". Any suggestions?
