[beta] strange blank word bug #1334

Open rcochrane55 opened 7 months ago

rcochrane55 commented 7 months ago

I've been running into a weird bug that it's been kind of hard to figure out the exact nature of, but I want to put what I can figure out here so something can be done about it.

I've been having a strange thing happen where existing lexical entries sometimes seem to get emptied and left blank. It's not clear to me exactly what causes this, but it seems to happen often after searching for a word in the lexicon and then clicking on "clear filter". Many times recently after doing that I will have one or more blank lexical entries at the top of the lexicon section, It seems, though I am not sure of this, that it sometimes wipes the word you were searching for, and other times it seems like it erases a word that was just created, often the last or second to last word entered, but because it blanks the word out completely and I have well over 1k lexical entries, it's not always possible to tell which word it erased. Leaving a lexicon search by clicking on another section of polyglot like the grammar section, word generator, parts of speech, etc seems to avoid having this happen.

I'm sorry I'm not able to give more specific details about it, but hopefully this is a good enough start to track down and fix it.

Just wondering, has there been any update on this? It's been a while since I was working on my conlang in polyglot, and I haven't seen much activity on here, and I'm unsure if there have been any new beta releases since beta 3.6.

I had this happen to me, it has to do with your font, not the program. You may have to tweak and fiddle around with your lexicon in an editing program, use an older version of your lexicon if you have one, or restart your PC.
