Hi! I really love xkit and it's a really life savior, but something weird is happened. Scissors icon for cutting posts has disappeared from my blogs so I can't cut my posts. I uninstalled and installed xkit, but everything remained the same. Everything else works, but not this. Is this some kind of bug or what?

I love this extension and I've been using it for the longest time as it makes Tumblr a million times better than it is. But if I may ask, would it be possible to create an option to bring back the bigger sliding avatars? I've really been missing those and I've always hoped that XKit would provide a way to bring them back someday.
