Thanks to all for your advice. Turning Map text on and off did not solve the problem. Clearing all map text strings did not solve the problem. (surprise, surprise) I tried redoing the copy paste all in the extended map editor (not the scenario editor) and problem persisted.
I wonder is an "undo" function is messing up removing the text with the # key by not removing the text strings in the code? It could be that in the copy paste actions the text within the selection area transferred but incompletely so the text notes in the map code cannot be executed properly.
Interesting note, some re-typed text did not reappear, only certain text entries. My advice is do not copy paste with text because you will have to do it all over again anyway.
