For some reason, object descriptions won't delete for me. Does anyone know why this might be or have a fix?

only time I've ever seen this happen is if you lose rights to the object... which can occur sometimes in a glitch... it can also occur when an object doesn't delete properly (it's still showing after you try to take or delete) in the former case you may have to replace it, in the latter, it'll usually go away on its own

This has been driving me crazy on and off with the recent viewers. Setting the description to a space instead of empty has been an OK workaround for my purposes.

if the description field is editable, but just doesn't want to set to blank you could try doing it by script

CODE

//-- drag a COPY of me into the prim because I'll delete myself when I'm compiled and run
default{
  state_entry(){
    llSetObjectDesc( "" ); //-- empty the object description
    llRemoveInventory( llGetScriptName()  ); //-- remove this script from inventory
  }
}

Yes, recent viewers don't let you delete the description. I wonder if it's intentional, but suspect not.

It does have a jira number, VWR-8761.

Thank you all. I'm going to go have a look at that JIRA.
