Re: Scratch is messing up! Help me!

Uhoh - looks like the disappearing text bug! Save your work quickly and then close Scratch. If you have other programs open that you don't need, close them, too. Reopen Scratch, and open the project you were working on. If no costumes used the text layer, then you're finished!

Otherwise, go to every costume/background that had text on it, click "Edit", then click "OK" without changing anything to restore the text.

Hope this helps  smile

Re: Scratch is messing up! Help me!

another thing that works well is pushing the save buttonn repeatedly. After 5 or so saves, the text comes back.
