Scratch keeps replacing my costumes with question marks
As I mentioned in the subject header, my sprites' costumes in an unreleased project keep being replaced with question marks in cream coloured boxes. There's more, though. Text in my project keeps shifting to the left. Scratch has also been cutting off any sounds over 100 seconds long, and this has affected my game substantially. I have absolutely no clue what's wrong, and have no way to fix it. I have to repair whatever damage that this error has done to my project every time I open it.

The question mark glitch happens when costumes fail to load or the costume image file is corrupted.
Reloading the page should fix it. If that doesn't work, try closing the tab without saving and reopen it after a few minutes.

The question mark glitch happens in various projects, such as Fermata (and all of its remixes) and the PTE Ultra+ Editor.

Do you have any idea what's causing the other glitches I mentioned?
