Text and Name problem
When I am in a project and I am editing a sprite that has text, after a while the text dissappears and the entire project is missing names, text, and the blocks are even empty.
This gets frustrating.
Especially if I haven't saved the project yet.
This has happened 5 times now with the same project. Is there something that I can do to assure that this project has no trouble seeing the light of the internet with all of its functions working properly?
EDIT:
I posted this in the wrong thread. please move it.

Re: Text and Name problem
We have seen this problem quite a bit with version 1.3. I still do not have a good idea of why this happens or how to prevent it from happening. I am sorry.

Re: Text and Name problem
I've had the same problem with a big project. Oddly enough, for me, I find that repeatedly hitting the save button a couple of times brings the text back while keeping changes intact. I don't know if that will work in your case, but you could try.
I also find that this problem happens more often when I have a lot of text in the project and/or if I have a lot of applications running (such as an internet browser, a paint program, or a word processor) at the same time while I'm working on SCRATCH. In the former case, I find it easier to exporting the image (which will embed the text onto the image in question), re-import it, then delete the original image.
Hope this helps

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
