Derived words not deriving if affixes are involved

I've caught myself accidentally trying to put dervied words into the Add More Words box above it a few times, which has caused me to flip out thinking the whole feature is broken until I realise what's happening. I reckon you probably did that. I might make it detect if you entered anything in uppercase after the equals sign, or + or &, and make it throw a warning at you.

As for phonological rules not appearing, are you using RegEx or phonological rule notation? I notice the RegEx rules don't get added to the grammar, which is an easy fix for next update.

Unfortunately, my derived words are in the right box, which indicates a bug (I can send you my settings file and the seed for the language to see if it replicates for you). It's worth noting that I've never had this problem before, and other languages that I've generated today have been fine. (I've left the tab open and have been working on Vulgar in a different tab since I discovered the issue)

The phonological rules are in RegEx, so that makes sense. Glad to know that's an easy fix/simple issue!

If you can replicate the bug consistently, yes, please send the settings file to [email protected]. Would appreciate that.
