Strange text glitch if you play/edit 333333 then Quantum Tunnel

[avengah]

It took a while before I isolated the cause of this, but I did it by searching for the text strings that appear - Google pointed to the 333333.zip download link (Google's able to search the zip for text now! Nice!)

Anyway, if you play or edit 333333 (easy mode) - you don't have to do anything, just open the level then quit if you want, then open Quantum Tunnel, some text will appear in the room labelled "Back Again" (7,2) in the bottom right corner, just under the VVVV by the exit. Only the first five characters are visible, but the editor shows the text string to be "This took a lot of fixing and stuff!"

You can press R then left-click the start of the text to read the full string. If you do this, press Enter. Now, right-click it and it's gone. Reload Quantum Tunnel, and a different text string is there - now it's "The Lab was made". Repeat this, and it's replaced with "<", and the < will keep reappearing if you delete it and reload Quantum Tunnel. (Note that all this is done WITHOUT saving the level. It's easiest to check in the editor, but you can play the level instead if you don't mind walking to the spot to see the erroneous text.)

Anyway, I downloaded 333333 (hard mode) and tried it with this. Now you get "Was it really worth it?" followed by "The Lab was made", followed by "<" etc.

Does anyone know why this happens? If you load Quantum Tunnel first, this doesn't happen, but loading either version of 333333 causes some text to appear in this spot. It's very odd.

EDIT: Someone else noticed random text appearing in his level, too, in this topic: http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=1072.msg8520#msg8520 . Maybe it's a weird glitch with VVVVVV that if you load certain levels after certain other levels, some things get carried over for some reason?

It's not just confined to 333333, either. I'm not sure what levels I played this time, but Quantum Tunnel showed "Music 4" twice in that spot, then "<" again. Hmm... I wonder if it's something to do with room 7,2 in the main game (similar to the way the music starts playing in the editor based on the last room you were in, if it triggers music to play in the main game's room of that position)? Let's see... 7,2 in the main game is "Purest Unobtainium"... This doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? It really baffles me!
