Description

From an Oct 2025 workshop in Brazil:

one technical issue. It could have been internet-related (although the Starlink we were using seemed to be very reliable), and had to do with hitting enter while the cursor was in the lexeme or gloss fields and the program lagging or freezing. Thankfully we never lost any data
