Bug Description
Scratch won't let me type anything.
I have Scratch set up to open on the "welcoming screan"
after creating a new document, a cursor does not appear.
It stays blank as in the picture attached.
I have tried to purge, install and upgrade scratch-text-editor but it did not solve the problem...
If i try to open from the terminal this is what it shows on the terminal

Hello, you can change the security access for all user to that folder: '/home/ tk423/. local/share/ scratch- text-editor/ unsaved/ '. That'll do the trick. Open terminal, go to that specific path and try to sudo chmod 777 scratch-text-editor or sudo chmod 777 unsaved.
You may want to read about chmod to select and apply only the permission to fit the users you have in your system and not to ALL.
