Answer 1

I think I reported this same bug to the Paratext developers last week.

In my case, it was caused by downloading an enhanced resource in Paratext 9.

I fixed it by deleting the newest ldml file in C:\ProgramData\SIL\WritingSystemRepository\3.

At next launch, Paratext recreated the ldml file which I’d deleted and everything worked OK afterwards.
