[BUG] Launcher group/category gone

I had one group of applications for Remote Controlling types of apps, xbmc, xbox, xtreamer etc. Suddenly it is just gone and the applications are no else to find either. If I launch store Jolla and search for the app it shows as installed and I can launch it from there. This must be some bug because I haven't fiddled around in any way other than creating the category. I have no idea about how and when it happened either because I only noticed it when I needed one of them.

How can I restore them?

Tried to see if this is a duplicate issue, but I can only find two issues where people has lost all their launchers after a lipstick crash or something. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Tried to see When this happens, and if one finds the place where the category has ended up it is possible to separate them again, in the same way as for moving an app out of a category.
