No "show senders/receivers" in broadcast blocks

My browser / operating system: Linux, Chrome 71.0.3578.98, No Flash version detected

In 2.0, when you right clicked a broadcast block you had an option to show all the senders or receivers of that broadcast. This was very useful, especially when trying to figure out another persons scripts but it's missing in 3.0…..

They also removed the “define” function for custom blocks.

Thanks for reporting. We plan on adding these features sometime in the future.

I agree that the broadcast senders and receivers and define are very useful when looking at any large projects.

* Could I suggest “view custom block” or “view block” or “view script” rather than “define” when it is implemented.

(Maybe even a “view next receiving script” or “view next sending script” within the receiving and sending sprites).

I'm missing this feature A LOT - I've a couple of projects that are very large and very broadcast heavy that have been broken since V3, and it's really hard to follow the logic flow to work out why

Yeah, I'd also want these features to be added back. The “define” for custom blocks and the “Show senders/receivers” options were very helpful for debugging and following the flow of the project when a problem happens, especially for bigger projects.
