you have, unfortunately, gone over the string limit.. This can cause random problems like the one which you described..

Are you using starforge?
If you are, did you open it up after using starforge, with regular staredit?
If you did, then if messed up because staredit doesnt recognize some of the junk and when reopening it up with starforge, it usually recopies itself like dna over and over when you open up the strings area.
ADDITION:
I thought the string limit could be reset so that you can go over the 'string limit' because I have a map with over 3000 strings, it said that it couldnt be opened in starforge cause it went 'over' the 'string limit'.
ADDITION:
O, and if your going though the strings in a program, like Uberation, then it might mess up the srtings.

Well I definitely dont have 3k strings
Yes I opened it with starforge and then I opened it with SCXE, does that count?
Also, how do I fix it?!

O DEAR GAWD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, U RUINED URSELF!!!
But there is a way to fix it...
It is hard too...
first, go to uberation, look at ur strings and fix them
ADDITION:
do u have uberation? or a map protector of some sort?
ADDITION:
If you did that, which might take a while, go back to starforge, and try not to open ur strings to much, this can also happen with sounds if you accidently do what u did.
ADDITION:
If that didnt work, which there is a 90% chance it didnt, ur going to have to restart ur map, if this happened to ur music files on ur map, ur going to hsve to start from scratch because ull never be aloud to look at ur music and everytime u open the sound section, the map will doubke its size.
ADDITION:
Did that help fella? If it didnt, Im sorry, what uve done happened to me. If it did help, can u send me some minerals?

"do u have uberation? or a map protector of some sort?"
Yes I have Uberation and Proedit.
Thanks for the help, I'll see if i can fix it.
"If it did help, can u send me some minerals?"
... I'll think about it
BTW That's a good strategy for getting minerals... I'll have to start using it

lol, glad I can help, but uberation is better to use since u have it.
Also, starforge it very good, but very unreliable if ur not going to to stick to it, its mainly used for bounds and touch-ups.
PLZ DONT DO THAT AGAIN, OR UR GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THIS FORUM AGAIN!!!
ADDITION:
ps. thx for the minerals, ill send u a gift sometime

I finally got around to working on it and though it didn't work, I found a faster, easier, and lazier way to do it! It wastes a few strings, but as long as your map isn't completely messed up it should work.
Instead of deleting the entire trigger and starting it over, and instead of deleting the display text action and risking messing up other triggers, just make a new text that goes 13 (I think) lines down, and put it right above the one you don't want showing up. Now, the new one appears and it doesnt harm the fragile, confusing, connecting web of strings! My map works perfectly now, and I didn't have to delete any whole triggers or start from scratch! Woo! (If anyone else is having this problem, and my answer helps, send me some minerals, I'm dyin here

Strings? Like a bunch of mess? It happens when some editors can't sense some of the stuff from another editor.

Open up your map with Uberation and use the Unrecycle Strings function.
