Go to a group, such as [Everywhere], and right click in a description box and choose Add Alternate Description.

The tab(s) will appear but you will lose all of the previous text, as each tab will now show the phrase "UltraTextEditor1".

You can make changes in any tab but you will see those changes mirrored to all of them. Ie, all tabs behave like one tab, editing one of them edits all of them. They will all show the same thing no matter which tab you edit first.

Adrift doesn't crash or raise any warnings when this happens.

Just to note that this bug still exists.

A work around is putting the text with alternates in a different textbox and then referencing it once in the Group Long Location Description box via a function or property call.
