In the course of trying to give a quiz, I've come across a few bugs in the last few days that I just wanted to highlight.

> Minimal example:
> 
> Choose Language \> Beginning Student
> 
> Insert \> Text Box
> 
> Hit Ru…n.
> 
> Error. \`let: this function is not defined\`
> 
> Again, this came up in a quiz. I had instructions written in text boxes, and when students tried to write code around the text boxes, they couldn't. (Actually, they weren't supposed to do this, they were supposed to write the code in a separate file, but it was still pretty confusing for me. And sorry I'm filing a flurry of bugs. They just all came up at the same time.)

Adding a Text Box in BSL results in being unable to run the file.

> Text in a text box is black, which end…s up invisible in the dark theme. Making sure that the text color in a text box is not the same as the theme's background color would be a nice thing to do.

Code in a Text Box is unreadable if the user has picked a theme with a black background.

> The Next and Prev buttons don't seem to work correctly and after you replace som…ething, the find ovals don't end up in the right place.

Search/replace doesn't work inside comment boxes. (Just checked, and it doesn't work _at all_ in Text Boxes, but that's not as big a deal.)
