Major Crash While Editing Text
I was playing around with 08jackt's Syn OS Platform, and while I was editing the text of one of the boxes, the text disappeared. Then, when I closed it, all the names of the sprites were messed up. I tried editing the same sprite, and now the whole sprite was gone. Then the backgrounds disappeared. This happened to me twice. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks. And, yes, I know, this is similar to the disappearing text problem, but this was disappearing text and sprites, sprite names, and backgrounds.

Wow, major problem you have there.
Maybe, just a simple reopen will do it.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Major Crash While Editing Text
This is the same as the disappearing text glitch. It always does that. You shouldn't really make another thread for it.

No, I tried it again, and now Scratch crashes completely. First the text, then the sprites and backgrounds, and then everything. Then, the program closes.

Re: Major Crash While Editing Text
So you can make it crash whenever you want by doing the same actions? Can you post exactly what the moves you make are so I can try and make it crash on my PC?

Re: Major Crash While Editing Text
Sounds a bit drastic... have you been playing with morphs?

Usually you don't want stuff to crash 
Maybe you found a mutated version of the infamous DTB!

No, it's just that when the Scratch Team hears about glitches, they want to try it out themselves, so they can figure out what is happening, and get more information, so they can fix it

Re: Major Crash While Editing Text
I am a bit too lazy to make it crash again, so I will say exactly what happened:
(The second time I did this, I knew what would happen, so I saved before I did anything)
1. I opened up the sprite editor
2. I highlighted the text
3. I switched between different fonts about 3 times
4. Then all the text disappeared
5. I closed the editor
6. All the sprites and backgrounds were gone
7. I clicked on the "Save" button
8. Scratch closed
9. I opened Scratch again and the file that I saved before I did any of this was gone
