You mentioned this ?
Yes.
I use to arange the blocks close to each other, but not overlapping,
And now many of them overlap.

so they did not actually change in size/dimensions ?
It looks like this..
Before they all fit together, with some empty space between them.
But now they overlap (regardless of the zoom size of the screen)

Sorry, do not understand what you mean. Please show an image/take a screenshot.
This could be the "new blockly" effect ?
I don't know what it is.
In fact, when you try to rearange the blocks, is the screen below the block that moves really fast. And not in the direction you want to move the block. But like to make room for the block to fit in the visible part of the screen, without never achieving it.
The movement only stops when you release the button in the mouse.

I think auto-scrolling should start when the mouse pointer reaches the edge of the screen, not when the block reaches the edge of the screen.

Automatisches Scrollen ( nb200 issues)
Good Morning! Who came up with this nonsense that when you touch a block that goes beyond the edge of the screen, the screen just starts scrolling at a speed that makes it impossible to work? Innovations should make sense!

Well, this doesn’t surprise me. For a while now, both AI2 and its forks have had issues with Mozilla forks or the Gecko engine.
You could try clearing the cache and cookies to see if that improves or resolves your problem, especially after such a large update. Otherwise, I’d recommend using Chromium-based browsers!
This is curious xD
It’s not a bug or anything, and it doesn’t really affect anything, but it seems that line is hidden at first or only shows up at the bottom. However, as the project progresses, it suddenly comes to light.
Forget it if it's a bug, but a minor bug in the UI
When you enable that in the designer, it shrinks.

One more usability request regarding the vertical limits of the blocks screen, please (if we are on time, and it is not too complicated):
Could it be possible that the horizontal slider at the bottom of the screen,
and the top part (where you can swap screens and so on),
they both appear at the same time, without needing to scroll the most right vertical scroll bar up and down all the time?
It happens too many times, that the horizontal slider disapears, and you have to scroll vertically the outer screen to make it appear again.
I believe something happened some time ago. May be when the Privacy Policy and terms of use.... apeared at the botom?
Thanks.
EDIT:
I checked it happens both in Firefox and Chome navigators.
In case it helps to debug:
Before something similar happened with the size of some blocks changing aparently. But at that time had the feeling that it depended on the zoom level of the screen.
Now they appear bigger all the time, regardless of the zoom level.
This feature: "Workspace scrolls automatically when dragging blocks to the edge" NOT runs correctly. It is not possible for the user to work correctly with the blocks as implemented.
The "performance or rendering engine" is very good. I have detected a better time performance.

The Viewer show warnings but this is wrong. There is any warning in the viewer. To have the right value I need to close the user-session and re-start the user-session.

Here's an unfortunate bug:
I asked a user for a project .aia export, and its procedure detonated on arrival, scattering its blocks across the workspace. (False alarm, just a slob)
that might be because my Remove Unused blocks isn't working.
App inventor has a very scary new interface
Hi,
I didn't touch my program for a few days, but when I tried to correct some of my mistakes today, I was scared by the new interface. First, I chose the classic style, but when I opened the program, I found that
- the positions of the blocks weren't in their old positions, and many blocks even overlapped with each other.
- when I tried to move a block back to its old position by pressing on the block with the mouse, and tried to move a little bit further away, the screen then suddenly scrolled very fast, and the block was moved a long distance away. That means I can't drag a block to a position where I really want. I had a hard time to move the block back to its old position by dragging the block a little bit further in about 1/4 sec, and then released the mouse button quickly, and at last I successfully moved the block to a position close to the position I wanted after 10 and more tries.
Now, I would like to know can we have our old interface (including program loading and operating) back in the future as an option. I dare not do anything now for I don't have the confidence with the new interface.
Thanks in advance
Yours truly,
Anthony Chow

[BUG nb200] All Block disabling
It happened to me that by mistake I commanded disabling on the grid which as a result disabled everything in the project. Apart from the slowness with which this operation is carried out, it is detrimental because if UNDO is done this re-enables everything that was disabled even what was done voluntarily. During development it is normal for me to temporarily disable some blocks to think about them better and possibly later re-enable them. With the UNDO it happened that nothing worked anymore and I had to slowly disable what was necessary again. I think disabling the entire project should be prevented or at least done after a warning message.
