Hello everyone,

ai2-test.appinventor.mit.edu has been updated with a set of fixes for bugs identified in nb200:

  • Adjust autoscrolling behavior to be a function of the pointer not the block bounding box
  • Fix an issue where the "Do It" bubble would update contents but not appear
  • Fix an issue where procedure argument names would show as "undefined"
  • Fix an issue where extension blocks in the backpack would cause it to not render correctly
  • Fix an issue where every move of the workspace would cause the companion app to refresh
  • Fix an internal build issue
  • Fix an issue that would cause the source structure explorer to change shape
  • Fix an issue where logic operators set to external inputs would get stuck in a dragging state

Please report any new bugs here.

Cheers,

Evan W. Patton, Ph.D.
Lead Software Engineer, MIT App Inventor

Still no warning when deleting a set of blocks

Blocks editor not scrolling to the right when dragging block (cursor on right edge of blocks editor)

'remove all blocks unused', is this working?

Windows 11, Chrome auto-scrolling works correctly in all directions.

It still doesn't work.

I have just created a patch that should fix it.

This is intended at the moment. The original reason for that feature was that Blockly didn't have undo/redo support. The newer version also has the trash can act like a backpack of sorts (not persisted between sessions though) where deleted blocks will appear if a user needs to recover them.

Tested and working. Nice feature that.

possible to re order the right click menu item? make the most used one at top?
my most used items are duplicate, remove unused blocks, sort blocks vertically.

This could start a "battle" ! :wink:

My three most used:

Duplicate / Clean Up / Download Blocks As Image

Call it a customization, if the Recently Used list is stored as part of the user profile, and it is made optional.

ai2-test server has the latest fixes in it, but that splash screen has not been updated to nb200a.

That said, from Help > About:

The Find feature by block type is erratic at best, mostly unresponsive.

I am on Brave, Windows 10

My Project lists don't sort when I click on their headings.

Windows 10 Brave.
Project List Sorting unresponsive

15

ai2-test has been updated to include the above fix for the "Remove Unused Blocks" option.

16

Do you know when will be in production the new version?

17

I am not seeing this issue in Firefox on macOS. Are there any errors in the browser console?

18

Sorting working OK on Linux with Chrome (v131....)

19

I need to research how to find my browser console.

But I now notice that ALL my projects are in subfolders.

I suspect sorting stops when it encounters a folder, and no one else has all their projects in subfolders.

(edit) Yup, closing that MISC folder revealed the rest of my projects, and they sort okay.

It was just a really long folder.

Once everything is fixed and tested. In the first post you have a link to the test server where you can help check the fixes.
