Text dissapearing

Ok, I know this glitch has been mentioned before but on this one project i've been working on, everytime I work on a sprite that has text in it, all the text will disappears and I have to restart scratch for it to work again (A little bit before it disappears again)
I restart my comp, scratch, but it keeps on doing that so i'm only getting a little accomplished on that project.

I found this before, and it has been added to the bug list by Paddle2See.

All I can suggest is save your work regulary to make sure you don't lose anything, and wait for a fix. It may come out in Scratch V1.4 which is coming out next month.

May I ask which version of SCRATCH you are using? The text problem tends to be more problematic in version 1.3, but the text issue is not much of a problem in 1.3.1.

Another tip: The text issue usually comes up in cases where a lot of memory is being used up; applications and processes such as internet browsers, word processors, image editors, and virus/spyware scanners use up a lot of memory, so make sure these are turned off when necessary.

Yet another tip: Instead of adding text in the SCRATCH interface, add/embed the text in a image editor and then import the sprite image to SCRATCH.

All you have to do is to edit that sprite and press ok and the text will be back for that sprite  smile

Re: Text dissapearing

I had this problem a lot during V1.3, but have yet to have it in V1.3.1

Restarting Scratch and editing each sprite to make the text repear is fine, but is annoying when you have a lot of text.
