Point towards mouse-pointer seems to only be working intermittently. Initially it doesn't work, but then if you try pointing at something else and then switch back to the mouse pointer it starts working.

I've replicated this problem on multiple computers with OSX+Safari and Windows+Chrome, and on different internet connections. First encountered it on 11 July and still encountering it now.

Last replicated a few minutes ago on Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 51.0.2704.106, Flash 22.0 (release 0).

Steps to replicate:
Open new Scratch project.
Add thise script to Sprite1:

when green flag clicked
forever
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
end

Steps to fix:
Put a reporter in the place of mouse-pointer and then remove it.

Yes, I've just discovered what's happening with this, and how it was introduced into Scratch.

Thanks, that's good to know. Relieved to hear it's not just us going mad! Hope it gets fixed soon.

I had that problem too. I tried it, and it didn't do anything until I put the reporter and put it back, but that might get annoying to do.

Thank you for asking the question - and sharing the solution! Very helpful
I too hope that it'll get fixed soon….

Im working on a project and whenever i place point towards mouse pointer even with a forever block it keeps going super Far from my project!
