When a project cannot save, a dialog appears with two buttons: “Try Again” and “Download”
There are many reasons a project could not save, such as no internet or too many items in lists.
However, this dialog covers the green flag and stop buttons.
This is because the <div> spans the entire width of the screen, as shown in this image.

UPDATE (8/31/19):

As mentioned by CatsUnited, this bug also affects the Code, Costumes/Backdrops, and Sounds tabs, as well as the stage size buttons (small, big, fullscreen)

When it Started: This has been a problem since the beginning of Scratch 3 (not counting beta/preview) .
Where it is: It can be reproduced with any Scratch 3 editor.

Reproduction Steps: To reproduce, create a new project, fill a few lists with 200000 items and click “save now.” The dialog should come up. Now try to click the green flag. It cannot be done.

Expected Result: The flag button responds when hovered over (highlights itself) and clicked (starts any scripts starting with “when flag clicked”). The stop button stops all scripts when clicked and highlights when enabled and hovered over.
Actual Result: The flag button does not respond to hovering or clicking while the dialog is up. The stop button does not respond to any hovering or clicking.

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 68.0, No Flash version detected (but affects all browsers & operating systems)
Image:

Possible solution: in .gui_alerts-container_15BWp style, remove “width: 100%;” and add “margin-left: 30%” or “margin-left: 350px”

Was able to replicate. The costume and sound pane buttons, along with the small screen, standard screen and full screen stage options were also covered by that div element. Since it's a coding issue, it doesn't appear to be OS or browser specific.
My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.13.6, Chrome 76.0.3809.132

I still believe this topic is relevant, until we get confirmation that this has been seen by the Scratch Team.
(updated topic post)

I have reproduced this many times in the past, even today.

I don't think it's a glitch though. Even if it is, you can click “Try Again” and then you can temporarily access the covered areas until the dialog pops back up.

I do believe it is a glitch.
My script automatically clears all the lists when I click the flag.

However, here's what I have to do to NOW to save my project:

1. Click “Try Again”
   
2. Hit the Flag button
   
3. Hit the Stop button
   
4. Wait for dialog to pop up again (~3 secs)
   
5. Click “Try Again”
   It saves
   

Here's what I will be able to do to save it once it's fixed:

1. Click the Flag button
   
2. Click the Stop button
   
3. Click try again
   It saves
   

PLUS
I don't always WANT to save every time I click the flag. I may click it 20 times before I save.
And remember, this also applies to the tabs and Stage size. If I want to use any of those, I have to first click try again.

I believe it is a glitch because I don't think the ST intended to cover the buttons with this dialog. I think it was just intended to notify that the project failed to save.

I'd say it might not be a glitch, rather it may be like that to make sure the user is completely aware their work could be lost.

I think the message is enough to make the user aware that their project failed to save, and I don't think the user should have to click try again every time they want to access the flag(or another button).

Also, in Scratch 2, I believe the “could not save” dialog did not cover the flag,etc.

It really depends on the Scratch Team's reasoning for making the div element so wide (and whether they intended to cover the buttons).

Does anyone else experience this problem?

Please don't put random messages in blocks, they make it hard to read.
Also, I don't know if this actually impacts much, or does it make it unable to click the flag when it is there?

Ok

Nice Topic! I Used Scratch

Did You Use Inspect Element On A Project Editor? ( Maybe Yes Or No )


I Didnt Necropost. Sorry
