Scratch

I have never seen this. Even on my project with nearly 400 scripts and around 60 sprites.

I think its luck for it not too happen to me.

i was just making the instruction page on my extremly big game using the paint editor
and suddenly all my writing dissapeared. Every day since when I try to edit it it happens
again and again.

does anyone know if it'll ever stop.

ps
I have over 70 games will dis affect it?

I think I have a temporary solution! I say temporary because it can be somewhat inefficient and tedious, esspecially if you have lots of text. But it'll do. All you have to do is go into costume(s)/background - click edit and the click OK. There you have it. The text will re-appear. Could this help discover what is wrong with the bug?

I have this bug in my project whenever i click on two sprites. All other sprites are alright but whenever i try to click on these the thing starts lagging and making the text disappear. The extent to which the text disappears varies each time. I think this bug might be both to do with the memory manager and the text editor.

I have also received the ''Insufficient memory to create the bitmap, please close one or more applications.'' message when trying to use print screen sometimes. However with the 1GB of RAM i have, i'm using around 700 MBs so i don't see where that's coming from. And yes i'm running XP on a HT enabled P4. Therefore i sincerely believe the bug is somewhere in the memory manager.

i would upload screenshots but i'm a new scratcher still.

I think we've solved it... or have we, lots of people are saying it happened in the paint editor and most of them people said they were using text. But that's the thing that is strange and scares me a bit, as you all know the bug came in scratch 1.3, if people are using text and it happens, how can they not have it in scratch 1.1 but type more in scratch 1.1 (people type more cause they do a lot of tutorials in scratch 1.1 and big games) .

Here is some tips to avoid it

1. don't use so much text because text could possibly be how the bug occours
2. if your making a game that is meant to be 1s1s1c and has a lot of text and scripting, don't bother, do loads of minute scripts

Hope I helped! Thanks !

I was typing with a weird font once, and messing around with the letters. I closed the paint editor, click file, and what do I see? Nothing! All of the text in the lists was gone. The Sprite names were gone. All text (except the blocks) was gone! I had trouble saving my work. I had to restart my computer.
I had another bug at that same time that I think is associated. When I hit backspace, the pi symbol came up. Pi? you ask, yes pi.
This is Scratch 1.4 operating on a Windows 7 system with a Toshiba laptop. My Toshiba freaks out a lot, if that helps.

IT HAS STRUCK AGAIN!

Ok, I think I have found a problem.

If you are using a weird font, and are in the paint editor, DON'T MINIMIZE THE SCRATCH WINDOW!

That's how it always happens to me.

Now I have to start my project over again....

SCRATCH DELETED 30 MINUTES OF WORK WHEN I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAVE
IT DIDN'T EVEN LET ME
IT JUST TURNED INTO A BLACK BOX.

EDIT: AND NOW YOU DELETE MY CAPS!?!?!?!
