[Bug] Pasting text into Scene Parameters creates a large number of duplicates
Hi!
I've been experiencing many bugs with Scene Parameters. It's hard to reproduce because some of them only happen sometimes and under conditions unknown to me.
This time, I pasted a piece of text ("Mars was an ancient Roman god of war.") into the Description field and suddenly I had dozens if not hundreds of copies.
See the screen recording:

All of these bugs are making me afraid of using Story Architect because I'm afraid of losing important data.
Is Story Architect still considered Alpha? Should I stop using it on my current and other important projects? It doesn't say anywhere in the website it's Alpha.
Does this text was copied from the Starc itself or from another source?
It is more a beta right now, not alpha. But of course it's not ideal, since a lot of stuff changed between releases.

From another source. I noticed this and other bugs when pasting text copies from Chromium/web pages, text editors, and KIT Scenarist.

Got it. Do you think I could lose data when these pasting corruptions happen?

Not think so. But if something goes wrong, you can get a previously saved version of your project from the backups' folder. 30 last copies of your project stored in it.
Ok. I know about the autosave. I'm more afraid of corruptions that go unnoticed for a while and end up in all of the autosave backups. If there is a small corruption in a text in the scene parameters of one scene, for example, it might go unnoticed for weeks.
