This can be caused when a user has added an item to their favourites list (DB table: UserRecords).

4. Go to: Administration → Customisation → Opportunity
5. Find the Description field from the list and select the pen icon in the Field Security column on the far right:

7. Add in a new field security permission by clicking the New button on the right. You will see this screen:

12. Log out of the admin user and log in to the non admin User. For this example I am using Brian Little.
13. Select the favourite function and you see this:
