it seems I lost 14.977 grin :( ... but I hope someone here knows a way to get it back (I already did a wallet check and also tried wallet restore, also upgraded to 1.0.1 and tried wallet check and wallet restore again).

I was running grin 1.0.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 when I made an http-based deposit to Bibox about 24h ago, though it was not getting confirmed even after many hours (chain height was advancing). In the meantime I made other tx and rx transactions from/to the same wallet. After 24h the Bibox deposit It was not getting confirmed at all so I decided to cancel it using grin wallet cancel --txid <txid>.

It said it's cancelled but the 14.977 grin were never returned to my wallet :(. Here are all the transactions from/to this wallet since the Bibox deposit was triggered (times are UTC+2):

Here's the output of wallet txs -i 109:

The wallet balance is 69.985, when it should be 69.985 + 14.977 = 84.962:

NOTE: You can see in the list of transaction above there was another cancelled transaction (index 112). That one was "weird" but I didn't lose those funds. It was a file-based deposit to Tradeogre that I made and which was also stalling and was getting no confirmations despite the chain height advancing. I didn't cancel it myself but ran a wallet check and it cancelled it itself and returned the funds.

I since upgraded to 1.0.1 and tried a check and restore, to no avail.

Is there a way to get back my 14.977 grin or should I kiss them good bye?

EDIT: Checking the tx output of tx index 109 (the cancelled 14.977 grin transaction) on the explorer I see: https://grinscan.net/output/0862a116dc219ac2824178597a82acd0a5e884b98fdef83e7ab7aca084cd1ff99e

... which says it was spent in block 34180, which was yesterday, and yet I cancelled it today.

I'm lost :(

P.S. I dumped that problematic transaction to a file using repost -i 109 -m dumped-failed-deposit.tx. I don't want to repost it to the chain until a dev can confirm what is safe to do at this stage (also, Bibox doesn't have a file-based slate interface for me to finalize it at the other end and their tech support has been deplorable until now).

Interestingly, Bibox is still showing it as Pending:

... where you can see 2 other deposits made to Bibox. The Successful one of 40.0 grin was made from my wallet (same wallet as in the above post):

.. whereas the Failed one of 40 grin was made directly from Bitforex.

Interesting that it says Fail for the 40 grin one from Bitforex, but Pending for the 14.977 grin one from my wallet. Does that mean there is still hope for my 14.977 grin?

It seems that the transaction confirmed normally but your wallet failed to identify it as confirmed because there was no change output (notice the amount credited = 0 in your tx).
