2 years ago Could you send me a copy of the file that you're seeing this with? Email is just draquemail@gmail.com . I appreciate that you're taking the time to report these bugs. That's the only way I know that I need to get them fixed! :3
I suspect that it is a real bug and not your installation, as PolyGlot should run virtually identically more or less everywhere.
The whole Grammar section text editor is something that I really do need to replace wholesale. I wrote the whole system from scratch rather than just using a prebuilt solution, and this is the result. I'll need to find a way to convert from one to the other when I do so as well. X|

DEVELOPER TEXT Broken things:
ORIGINAL TEXT I don't know if it's just my installation because I don't see any issues that mention it (though I have tried repairing and reinstalling), but for a while now the text editor in the grammar section has been broken on my machine. some sections of text work as intended, while some lines run off the right side of the page and and I can't scroll over and look at them, can't place my cursor within the line and edit within it, can't remove tabs at the start of the line, and more. I also can't seem to copy and paste into the grammar section from some locations outside of polyglot (when I do I just get a big black block instead of text). I tried copying all the text from a section, deleting it, and then copying it back in from microsoft word, which absolutely did not fix the problem because then I couldn't even see the text. However, I can copy in text from a pdf of the language, but the pasted text then suffers from the same bizarre bugs that plague the grammar section already.
some lines in the grammar section will not format properly and are unselectable, and when I use the arrow keys to try and navigate my cursor through them each character I move over turns invisible. Sometimes trying to eliminate space between two lines of text causes the lines to be superimposed over each other in an unreadable mess. Deleting text and retyping it also doesn't help because the retyped text ends up suffering from the same or similar problems. This is preventing me from reworking the grammar of my conlang because the text editing features I need to update and fix it are completely broken.
