Blocks Editor slow to recognize local variables in new block pulldowns

[ABG]

I notice this in Brave browser, Chrome, and Firefox on my Windows 11 Home PC.

When I pull a local variable getter, it is not recognized in inner references until I press F5 (refresh) and re-enter the Project from the Projects List.

The PC is only a couple of weeks old, so I suspect this is some overzealous blockage between Windows 11 and my browsers.

I employ no browser extensions.

The error manifests in the Plot Screen of this project:
Kaprekars_Constant (1).aia (9.8 KB)

Strangely, it did not manifest in a fresh small project:

I get it in your project, but tested in a couple of "stacked" projects I have and no issues doing the same thing there. This with Brave browser on Linux.

Same project, on my older Windows 11 Home laptop, Brave editor. Same error, this time for a different type of local variable.

Test this way

The counts list is a simple local list of 4 digit dictionary keys (albeit poorly named),

The Blocks Editor flags the temporary variable k from the moment it is selected from the For Each k in List iterator block.

The getter blocks lose their error flags after a refresh.

This is a working complete version of the project, if you want to experience this in the Plot screen.

I am dealing with a Blocks Editor bug here, not an app testing problem.

You are absolutely right! I see here the same issue on my phone's Chrome browser.

It popped up as an issue in a different project I was working on.

I like this game:

• if you delete the two “create empty dictionary” the error disappears
• ( only detaching the two blocks is not enough )

P.S.

it can be recreated in this minimal project ( the error disappears deleting the create empty dictionary ):

Does any one know if this happens on other block environments (Niotron, Kodular,...)?

This is a bug in the latest release. I have identified the underlying problem and put together a fix:
