Nice! That must have taken some work. Could you add website bugs too? If there are any…

This is a great resource! Thanks for taking the time to compile this list.
I'm going to go ahead and sticky it so it doesn't get lost.

The ST needs to make sure that when they add fonts to text elements in Editor, the old code for fonts still works, and is just updated without changing how the project works or the shape of the text. That would smooth things out a bit.

Summary of major bugs in the project and paint editor
We released a bunch of fixes today! I believe the following should be addressed:
Love-its count / favorites count irregularities
Deleting a sound from backpack also deletes it from the original project
Need to optimize scrolling for user experience in editor
Leaving sound editor tab should stop sound playback in sound editor.
Deleting a costume or backdrop from the backpack in the editor will also delete it from the project.
Drag from backpack into paint editor
There may have been more fixes than these - those are just the ones I saw as we were doing initial QA.
If anyone can confirm (or deny) that these are fixed, that'd be a big help!

Every notification I get, all of them say "(username) has commented on your project (project). The project in which they have commented is NOT mine!!! And all of em say the same thing!

When trying to “clear or erase” an area with the paint bucket I get black instead of “nothingness”.

Summary of major bugs in the project and paint editor
I found a glitch in the Project Player/Editor: If you have multiple objects overlapping each other in vector paint, when you apply a ghost effect in the editor the edges of the inner objects become visible. Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpuyrfre7a7ebw7/OLM_ButtonGlitch_1.png

You need to use GIF images (i think). Try it. Projects wont download to my desktop
Images wont import
Hitting undo in paint editor switches it between bitmap and vector
As for the editor, it undos EVERYTHING, so it'll also undo the editor type.
And as for not downloading, I have no idea.

Here's another glitch in vector: if you're drawing a line off a point (highlighted circle), the line you're drawing keeps the other line's color instead of being the color you set it to.

That doesn't sound so good. What if you just bring it into the backpack, then change your mind? Now it's gone. Deleting a sound from backpack also deletes it from the original project
Deleting a costume or backdrop from the backpack in the editor will also delete it from the project.

I believe that was fixed several revisions back - can you confirm?

Summary of major bugs in the project and paint editor
Why is it impossible to fill color INTO a shape in vector mode paint editor?! If I want to do that, I have to switch it to bitmap and the quality goes down a ton! Then, when I want a new costume, it won't let me use the reshape tool BECAUSE IT WAS BITMAP!
I need serious help…
