P.S. I was complaining about the trash can not accepting the block, not the scrolling, which I like.
P.P.S. And to be clear, it's the trash can behavior that I'm having trouble replicating.
I believe it has always been the case that the trashcan opening has been a function of the mouse pointer entering its hitbox. As far as I can remember, it's never computed based on the block's hitbox.
I think that the issue it that the trashcan is opening but the block isn't getting deleted when the block is dropped over the open trashcan. At least that's how it looks in his video. Do I have that right, @ABG?
Correct.
Copy/Paste is rather sloppy on where it drops pasted blocks.
Here I went to the trouble of highlighting a likely open socket for the copied blocks, and then clicked on empty space near the target socket to get myself a right click menu. The Pasted block landed midway between my current cursor location and its Copy origin point.
What's the point of a sloppy Paste?
Notice how long and crowded the right click menu has become. I have started to need my trackball's scroll ring to navigate it.
Here's me trying to hint the Paste option to drop into the open socket on my target block.
But the Paste option does not appear for the target block, only in whitespace.
Here's an exported Project from the test server whose procedure calls lost their parameter names on import to the current AI2 server:
Note the procedures add_unique and remove in the procedures pallette vs their call blocks in the generic event.
data_diddler.aia (5.8 KB)
I am working around it by pullling fresh calls in and transfering the parameter values.
The procedure calls might have been corrupted by being inside that checkbox event when I made the enclosing event generic, and i didn't notice?
I'm afraid that we don't support forward compatibility (i.e. from a newer version to an older version). We are be much more concerned about AI2 projects that couldn't be properly loaded into the test server.

We just updated the Blockly update test server. If you have any issues with loading or saving projects that you previously created in the server, please delete the window or tab where you are using the server and then create a new one. You might also need to refresh the window/tab. If you still have difficulties after that please let us know.

Is this an issue specific to the Blockly v10 Update server mentioned at the beginning of this topic (i.e. https://blockly100300-dot-ai2-ewpatton-temp.uc.r.appspot.com/) or is it also on the ai2.appinventor.mit.edu server?

Both problems are only related to the server on the agenda, in this topic »

Thx. Any chance you could create a couple of .AIA files that contain the blocks that you're showing in each of your videos? That would make it much easier to replicate and diagnose the problems.
