Hi @SteelSpartan7, does the problem come when you use the arrow keys inside the text box?

Yes, that is correct. When trying to navigate the text box with arrow keys, the UI will sometimes become completely unresponsive.

It’s a known bug, already tracked. Thanks for the report :slight_smile:

This error made me lose several edits to my custom scenarios. Just a few seconds ago, I had the game frozen without me being able to do nothing, so I had to, once more, close the game via task manager.
