I'm talking about the “hide” button.

Yeah, but that's not the workaround being discussed. We're talking about the ghost effect workaround, which works.

But your flexibility over simplicity post is something I agree with. Having a non-obvious workaround is also a good middle ground between having it and not having it at all, as most people who would use the stop sign clicked for bad purposes would never even know about the workaround to begin with.

Maybe only when someone clicks the stop sign twice?

Best idea I have seen

No support. The workaround uses the timer which can't be stopped by the stop sign.
So, to remove this feature (which is like, the ONLY way for this to work) would be bad and cause a lot of trouble.

good idea, but how will this work? i cannot think of any way.

Stop the timer when stop sign is clicked. Simple.

Support, someone can make a project that lags your device, and then prevents you from stopping the project with the stop sign.

The scratch team made a lot of safe-guards to prevent that. Plus, if this does happen, you can just exit out like @dhuls said

You can’t just remove a workaround.

I really dont see the point in getting rid of the workaround. If you're that mad about it just double-click the stop sign. Worked for me.

Only problem with the workaround is that it messes up sine timer effects (like floating sprites and wobbly, etc.)

Other than that, it is good for thumbnails, etc.

Once, I was watching an animation about amogus Among Us, but when I clicked the stop sign, it played music instead, I was pretty angry, and months later decided to make this. Stop signs stop,

Also, thats a bit sus haha oh no GETOUTOFMYHEA-

This would cause MASSIVE amounts of backlash. So definitely not.

How else would thumbnails be made?

This is perfectly fine, and this suggestion would break many projects, so no support.

when green flag clicked
set [ghost v] effect to (100)

It's much easier to use the stop sign workaround than it is to repeatedly going to the thumbnail sprite, showing it, then saving the project.

Why would you have to repeatedly show it? I'm also against this suggestion, but please use actual reasons.

Let me clarify
Would you rather

• Every time you want to save, go to the thumbnail sprite, click the show button, then save, or
  
• Just press the stop button, then save
  

Why isn't anyone noticing? If you clicked the stop sign, all graphic effects clear. This is NOT

when green flag clicked
hide

Maybe as an option instead?

No support, because you can just make a stop/pause button INSIDE your project!

Newsflash: not all modern browsers have the ability to close a lagging tab.

i know that, but also according to your logic. if the tab is to laggy to close, wouldn't that mean the project is too laggy to stop with the stop sign? if that were the case i would just report the project, rather than ruin the feature for everyone else that is using it for good.

How is that relevant

Just to mention Turbowarp has a “pause” feature which completely pauses the built-in Scratch timer.

No support though. If the project triggers/vauses harm, report it.

No support. This would break a lot, and I mean a lot, of projects.
