I can only use the backpack in the project from which I moved the blocks. If I open a new project, I can no longer access the backpack. This problem occurred after I switched the user interface to Neo. The browser is Edge. Is there something wrong with my settings?
I see this with new and existing projects using Neo interface (which I have been using since its inception):
Chrome on Linux: Version 131.0.6778.204 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Much the same with Classic interface.
How can I solve the problem? Exporting and reinserting as PNG doesn't work either. See my other thread.
I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. It looks like the locks in the upper left-hand corner have been cut off in some way?
In my initial tests, I didn't have any trouble opening the backpack and dragging blocks onto another project, whether it was an existing one or a newly-created one. Is there more information you could provide?
That is what I see when I click on the backpack, just that partial "image" of a block in the backpack (not sure if it is the first one). It appears, top left corner, in the blocks editor in both interfaces.
You see that instead of the flyout?
Weird. I don't see that in my tests. You're on Linux? That has almost never mattered for issues like this, but trying to get all the information.
This is new since last night's release?
Yes, yes, and yes
Just tested with Firefox, get the same result.
When I click on the backpack in the new project, nothing happens. When I open the project from which I copied the blocks and click on the backpack, it opens normally and I can see its contents.

May be of help/interest, I just tried backpack on the ai2-test server. No response at all from the backpack, nothing displays when I click on it. This using Chrome. Sorry, do not remember ever putting anything into the backpack prior to nb200 testing. I did try adding items to the backpack and then seeing what was in the backpack as well. Nothing. Applies to Classic and Neo interfaces.
That’s what I mean. I use the backpack often because of my laziness..
Hi App Inventor Community,
I'm experiencing an issue with the Backpack feature in the Blocks Editor of App Inventor. It seems to not be functioning as expected. When I try to copy blocks into the Backpack or retrieve them later, nothing happens, and the blocks do not appear.
Here are the details of the issue:
- The Backpack icon is visible and clickable, but it does not seem to store or retrieve any blocks.
- I've tried refreshing the browser, clearing my cache, and even switching browsers, but the problem persists.
- This issue happens across all my projects, not just one specific app.
I rely on the Backpack feature heavily for copying reusable code between screens and projects, so this is causing quite a bit of inconvenience.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or fixes I could try?
Thank you in advance for your help!
