Scratch

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much, I thought I lost all of the data I had on  a 126 sprite, 4 month long project    fortunatly I didn't though 

I didn't knew and it happend. A helpful scratcher posted me link to this thread and now everything is fine.......

when the text dissappears DO NOT SAVE just close scratch, if you save and open it the text wont be there

Well, some people don't save until the end. Then the text disappears. It's okay to save. Then you close it out and reopen it. Just remember to click each and every costume/background and press "Ok". All of the text should reappear. 

*thumbs up*

The easiest way to not lose everything is to simply hit the save icon after you make a new script.

I just got the invisible text problem for the first time ever today and I thought I'd post the circumstances in which I got it. Others can do the same, and if we get a large enough sample, it might help us solve the mystery.

I had a total of 11 sprites with costumes that contained text and a total of 16 costumes that contained text (and no backgrounds with text). I was creating a new sprite and writing text on it when it happened. I seem to remember highlighting the text and fiddling with the font size.

Since it was a new sprite, it didn't have any scripts.

In total, my project had over 57 scripts.

So yeah, pretty typical circumstances for getting the glitch, I think. Large project, lots of sprites with text.

So what I want to know is...when do YOU get the glitch?

Stop spamming, it won't help.

i think i know what causes it - it is not ram i have 2.5 gb and i get it on half of my projects
here are the possible reasons
1. some fonts are glitchy
2. does not happen on windows 7
3. too much text

stop sopa and pipa and acta

click the save icon

I've discovered something very useful!

----------------------------------------------------------
FOR THOSE OF US WITH LARGE PROJECTS:
----------------------------------------------------------

- Do you have tons of text sprites in your project? Would it possibly take you more time than you're okay with to open each sprite individually and bring the text back?
If so, simply do the following!

- Stop everything. Go to "File" and click "Save." NOT "Save As..."
- Wait until your file is saved, then repeat that simple process until all of your text re-appears! I've done this before so I know that it works! If it doesn't work the first, second or third time, just keep trying, I guarantee it will work. I've tested it multiple times.

----------------
NOTE:
----------------

Sometimes, only SOME of your text will come back. If so, just keep saving until all of it is completely restored! (:

* I think that if enough positive feedback is given about my solution, this should be on the first page as a part of the original post!

It ALWAYS happened when I was translating this project to english:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Kubinator/2372807
And I just backuped it every 5 minutes and if it broke I restarted Scratch and loaded the backup, cause I didn't knew you can fix it
PS: sry for my bad english
