Character Sheet Meltdown

Our Dungeon World character sheets are starting to act strangely in a number of ways with regard to adding Moves and Gear fields: One player was trying to organize Gear, when he found that copy/pasting items and tags (either from an offline text/pdf source or within the actual character sheet) that upon pasting, the gear was either deleted or would overwrite the gear in a different slot. Then, this started happening with the Moves as Advanced Moves started to be added. Trying to delete the duplicated fields (in either the Gear or Moves lists) then resulted in multiple fields being deleted at once. Finally, someone trying to add a new character experienced the same issue during character creation. A few clarifications for possible issues: The player that first experienced this issue actually had their character sheet duplicated. The entire thing (images, descriptions, and all elements in the sheet) were copied into a second character sheet exactly. Editing one sheet edits the copy simultaneously (including the bugs described above) Creating a third sheet from scratch (giving it a 'dummy' name) results in the same bugs as before, though it can be edited independently of the original sheet (and its copy) There are a a lot of players in the campaign. It's an open table with probably 30ish Player Character sheets, played by scheduling sessions according to availability. Only 4-5 people are playing at any one time and this hasn't been an issue for the first two months, so I'm not sure that that actually has anything to do with it. These problems started happening about 2 days ago, with the released updates to character sheets, but I really don't have any evidence or reason to believe that there was an issue created by those changes either. I tried editing the original "problem sheet" this morning and the same things keep happening. Any feedback or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Adding my 2 cents to this one. This is also occuring with the Shadowrun sheet in a game I'm a part of. I logged on tonight to move some things to my character sheets and the above problems started happening. Text fields started swapping locations, or just emptying. The sheet I was using was not a duplicate. This was primarily happening with the augmentations and weapons section.

The Rifts group I'm with has also had issues with our Palladium sheets deleting and scrambling skills at random, then not remembering skills when we close the sheet and open them up again. In fact, I've been fighting that issue all morning.
What's the link to your game, Justin? And which is the problem sheet?

The problem sheet is all character sheets new and old.

Nevermind, I think I found the problem. Reload and it should be fixed. From here on out, if you save something ti should save, only one thing should delete, etc. Sorry for the trouble. Let me know if that fixed it for you.
Also note that the ordering may still occasionally change (e.g. it may add a new item to the top of the list instead of the bottom). Still working on a fix for that.
Yeah, it's letting you add the moves. When you enter the name, the move is reordered and its description is filled with the description of another move. You can then change the description and nothing else weird happens and there are no other problems other than to the move being added. Same thing for gear, except that you have to change the Tags and Weight. Deleting appears to be working as normal again. I'm going to let the group try and update their character sheets to see if any other issues arise that I'm not seeing. Thanks for your help so far!

Yeah there may be some weird stuff going on with the ones you were using while the bug was present...but all newly added rows should be fine.
I am having this issue, kind of. &nbsp;but when I looked at my campaign it had twice the amount of repeating rows then it did on wednesday, was this some type of fix? I have basically item name, item description, item quantity, and rating. I name the items test1, test2, etc, and the descriptions get the corresponding numbers 1, 2, etc When i get to 31-33 it goes wonky But after that its fine.

Jake, try deleting the incorrect rows and the problem shouldn't recur.
