Can't change the COLOUR of any Fences

From CONFIGURE FENCES, go to BACKGROUND STYLE, when I click the dropdown arrow, I can't get individual Fence Names appearing any more

From Desktop, Right-Click VIEW, CONFIGURE FENCES.  Your pop-up heading will be "Customize your Fence groups".  Under the heading BACKGROUND STYLE, when I click the dropdown arrow, I can't get individual Fence Names appearing any more, which means I can't change the Fence colours.

The only option showing is "All Fence groups".  How do I get the individual fence names back, so I can have the fences categorised by colour?  Luckily all fences that were originally coloured have stayed that colour, but I can't create any more new coloured fences and it is ruining my system.  It's part of my filing system and a quick glance means I know what it is for, just from the colour. 

I want this below for each fence, otherwise all fences are the same colour:

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Need to know your system on Windows 10 or 11? Need its full version numbers too. Use Windows own Winver.exe to get those number. Also, your Fences version numbers.

Next, check if any of your Fences name have special character in it, such as ~ ! \ | ? < > etc, if you do, rename it exclude the special character from it. Close Fences configuration windows, reopen it, and check again. Report back.

Thanks
