The Dreaded Text Bug

The dreaded text bug (or DTB) is a popular bug that sometimes deletes text on a project once uploaded.

I've had this issue several times and it can be a huge pain!

Symptoms:
1. Random positions of text on the project once uploaded.
2. The loading bar for uploading your project suddenly loses its text.
3. The close and minimize buttons on Scratch disappear.

Ways to stop it:
1. Open up two windows of the same project when uploading, if the first one gets the bug, upload using the second window.

2. Don't open any other windows when uploading.

Re: The Dreaded Text Bug

I've had a bug where all the text disappears while I'm making the project.

It's happened a few times. It can be quite annoying. :c

Actually, that doesn't work.
