The Dissapearing Text Bug... Has got worse!

Now, on my computer, the browser freezes and sometimes shut down every time the glitch occurs!

Browser? You don't get the Disappearing Text Bug in the Java Player, you get it in the Scratch program...  hmm

Re: The Dissapearing Text Bug... Has got worse!

I remember that I've seen it, um, once. I didn't know about the "Disappearing Text Bug" at that time. And yes, it affected other applications. When I got back to my desktop, I found that the text on my desktop and the text on my taskbar disappeared too. So I restarted my computer.

It doesn't affect other applications, it just shuts down the computer immediatly. I have a certain project I'm making which gets the dissapearing text bug whenever you edit a certain background, but all my other projects with the dissapearing text bug have the same problem.

Probably not a virus. Whenever something like this happens for some reason everyone thinks it's a virus.

OS? Processor? Available memory/ram and HD space?

Did you know that your OS is an application itself?
Looks like it's affecting your OS!  yikes

Actually, an OS is a full-screen application that starts up right after you turn your computer on. You can download/make a .swf file which is an OS to see what I mean.

Sometimes the text bug just dissapeares but I dont actually know why, so maybe you should try closing scratch and opening it again or restarting your computer or something like that.

Re: The Dissapearing Text Bug... Has got worse!

I once got the dissappearing text bug, and since I was new in Scratch, I got really frustrated because I didn´t know what to do!!!!!!  I finally decided to save the project, close Scratch open it, close it, and open it. I did this like two or three times and then the blocks had the names again and everything else on Scratch. Unlike you, benjamin2, it stayed in Scratch, it didn´t get to the browser, and much less to other programs.  I know this is a very primitive way to solve a problem, but I can´t do any better, since I really don´t know whaat really happens.

                             I hope I helped,
                                                      Sincerely, Oswaldo.

Re: The Dissapearing Text Bug... Has got worse!

Right, here is what happens:

I'm doing my stuff on Scratch, the text dissapears, and the computer's applications all close and it begins its shutdown process. It happens with any number of applications open at the time.

Re: The Dissapearing Text Bug... Has got worse!

I have this bug sometimes. The only way to avoid it is simple: don't make a project that is way to big, or run multiple Scratch programs.
Fixed.
Wanna know why? RAM. And past experience lol  tongue


I might return for a little while.

I didn't mean it's a virus. "I love you" virus is sort of a term that means something really destructive that can't be stopped.
