[Opensim-users] Floating text not going away

[Vanish Seriath]

1. Make new script in object.
2. copy/paste this script:
default { state_entry() { llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1); } }
3. remove new script again

This behaviour is normal for floating text; the floating text becomes part
of the object, and needs to be set to "" (no text) to disappear.
