Cannot add Manufacturer to new or existing product in VM 3.0.18.6

Can you check if the select list is empty.
Search for "virtuemart_manufacturer_id" in the HTML file

It seems empty, please see http://imgur.com/a/R8QmI (I cannot upload directly to this forum, I keep getting the message "Upload folder is full")

Use your shop multi language and you don't translated manufacturers ?
Try to activate Virtuemart debug, to see if VM report something strange.
I checked the 2 called functions and exept perhaps a session problem, i don't see how you cannot have the list returned.

Studio 42, this was the issue! The client had not translated the manufacturers! As soon as I translated 2 manufacturers, they immediately appeared in the selection list.
Up until VM 3.0.18.3 this was not an issue though. It only appeared after the update to VM 3.0.18.6

Thank you VERY much for your time & input!
