D&D 5E Compendium doesn't add stats to Sheet; opens as character, not NPC.

Hi all, Trying to plan some encounters today, and for some reason the following happens: If I drag a monster from the compendium onto the board, it doesn't add the token. It only adds the creature to my Journal. When I drag from there, it *does* place the token. However, if I check the Sheet for the creature it opens as a player sheet, not an NPC sheet and there is no data there i.e. all stats are 0, nothing under attacks etc. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Check to make sure you don't already have a journal by the same name. For instance, if you have an existing character named "Goblin", dragging in a fresh compendium character named goblin will only place the copy from your journal. This keeps you from accidentally overwriting any customized monsters.
Hi Keith, I did check that, there are no replica monsters anywhere in the game. Tried it again just now with something I am certain I have never used, and the problem persists.  Is it time for me to post in the Bug Report forum?

I'd move it for you if I still had the ability, so yeah, that's probably a good idea.
