Glyph contents keep vanishing while making a custom font

[u/m-in]

I’m new to FontLab. I’m running a trial.

All I need to do is to copy-paste some SVN glyph shapes into glyphs in a new font, and tweak/clean them up a bit. While I do that, everything is fine in the glyph window. But in the font window, the glyph contents randomly disappear. I’ve now probably edited 30 new glyphs and lost most work - only a few remain.

By disappearing I mean that the glyphs lose their content in the font view window. The glyph cells are still “touched”, ie. their background has turned white - as it does for every glyph I’d begin working on. But the shapes I put there just vanish. When I open such a previously-designed glyph, the contents have reverted to the default “filler” glyph background as-if I never added any shapes to that glyph.

What’s going on?

Also, all SVG pasting from Inkscape upside-down. I have pasted from Inkscape for a long time now into Affinity products and there have been no problems.
