Bug list *important scratcher information*
Glitches in editor
Hackers: {usernames removed by moderator. Please don't feed the trolls} (ghost bot profiles)
Comments: project, studio and profile comments take way too long to load
Shared projects: projects shared not added to shared projects profile section
Views: sometimes a love, favorite or view does not load
Variables: high scores are being hacked, and they are currently not working.
Sprites: size limit not accurate to actual size limit, certain tick resets disable forever blocks, when blocks that are meant to happen at the same time E.G. (2 wait one second after green flag clicked) they occur independently of each other, especially if other blocks happen at the same time.
Sound: pan left/right and pitch effects do not work for some songs or only for a certain part of some songs, stop all sounds and clear all sound effects do not actually stop all sounds, especially when a sprite has a stop all but this script block with a song playing from that sprite, stop all but blocks do not actually stop all but that script with certain tick resets.
Color: fill with color does not fill the white space in between lines, a square or circles, pen sometimes does not draw when it overlaps a shape/line.
False counters: read messages marked as unread for 1 minute after you read them, remix counters stay the same after remixes are deleted.
Sorting: sorting by something sometimes does not work or you have to click it more than once to actually sort.
Studios: when you check the studios you added the project too on the studio or profile pages it sometimes does not show the project.
Glitches when playing
Sprites: tick resets break sprites and cloning
Lists: lists break and saving sometimes does not work
Saving: when you update a game sometimes saves or levels no longer work
ScratchViews: does not show up-to-date data and does not show correct activity graph
Saving: sometimes tick resets will make it so your game can not be saved even with the green flag not clicked, occasionally this glitch will also break movement with complex functions, causing the player to teleport randomly when a key used to move it is pressed or does not move at all.
Turbowarp for projects that should be compatible sometimes require customization or just do not work on it, just like for stax.fun and tynker.

Bug list *important scratcher information*
apparently, scratch's view counter is so broken my views somehow went down?
In addition to that, right after I posted one of my games the favorites and likes were higher than views even after several hours and refreshes, it is back to normal now, but it was still weird. This same glitch happened to @unikitty_540
Also, what are kumquats exactly?
not a glitch, but I hate brainrot on scratch, it ruins the scratch experience and turns it into shortform, saturated, addicting videos. Scratch should be primarily for games, music, art and animations, not brainrot.
On stax.fun, when you refresh the page it gives you another view and someone playing your game does not always count as a play. Moderation on that website is non-existent, copy-and-pastes get featured for long periods of time instead of the original because AI seemingly controls what project get featured, considering that when you scroll down on the games page you have to click “generate” next to an AI symbol. Very few real people use it, most are bots that are really just there to view all of the projects.

*More Glitches*
Some sprites and images cannot be imported into scratch despite them seemingly being compatible (same file type and size)
Sometimes the stop all but script breaks other sprites, particularly if the sprite or other sprite is a clone or is being cloned and has a relation to the sprite.
Some sprites cannot be filled in correctly after converting them from bitmap to vector or the other way around with the fill tool.
Sometimes erasing does not work and expanding often distorts the shape, especially if parts of it are deleted before expanding it.
Automatic deletion/banning/bot farms: Many of my friends accounts were ghost/bot banned/spammed/traumatized and this is not fair. They have long since forgotten their usernames but I can still protect myself from this fate!
Featured: Projects listed in the featured category before it stopped working were out-of-date, many listed projects being deleted/removed.
Sorting: sort by trending/popular goes by indexed views rather than actual views and takes a long time to be re-indexed.
Comment: responding to comments or posting comments does not show up when you first refresh the page, making you think that you did not type it, this leads to duplicate comments that clog inboxes or people thinking they posted a comment when their comment is not actually there.
Forums: time zones make it so a forum is posted/edited after it actually was, leading to the stickies and some forums being from the future somehow.

Please make a separate topic for each bug. Also, websites like Turbowarp or Stax.fun are not managed by the Scratch Team

The sites have glitches so they can still be mentioned on glitch forums, turbowarp definitely should be monitored, as it has a clear connection to scratch.

It's very hard for the Scratch Team to parse down bug reports and resolve them when they're lumped up like this. It's best to report individual glitches in their own threads (assuming there isn't an current pre-existing thread for them, of which it would then be better to post in pre-existing bug threads if there's more information to contribute to help the Scratch Team debug).
Do be mindful that it's also not appropriate to pick on current trends in the Scratch Community. (Quite odd to be picky about the kumquat thing, in particular, considering it's origins in Scratch history!). If you think a project content has something disrespectful or inappropriate, it best to just report it to have the Scratch Team take a look.
