Re: Scratch is failing.
I've noticed that too, in which things disappear. Text disappearing was more prevalent in the older version of SCRATCH (1.3); it seems to be less prevalent in the latest version of SCRATCH (1.3.1), as [for me anyway] it has only come up once.
I've found that this glitch seems to happen the most when the computer is using a large amount of memory, and the bigger the project, the more memory is used up. An advice is to try shutting down any unnecessary applications that may be running while working on the SCRATCH project. I've also found that sometimes, hitting save, shutting down SCRATCH, and then re-opening SCRATCH seems to solve the problem.
Hopefully, this helps you out, DawnLight!
