Thanks mperlmuter,
There have similar garbled text situations, I have gotten so wrapped up into the game, that I forget to log the error.  I will try to do better in the future, when it comes to reporting these things.  (Devs cannot fix what players fail to report.)
Hi Old-Spider,
This wasn't the first time, and yes you are right, it eventually goes away.  (mperlmuter is probably correct, that the text resets, after a restart.)
