⚙️ List of bugs with the new block editor update (a.k.a. Spork) ⚙️ (o97doge - 2026)

Programming questions:

Script for background transitions!
Use this script (thanks, @tajibear13!):

when green flag clicked
show
go to x: (0) y: (0)
go to [front v] layer
set [glide v] to [1]
switch costume to [zoom v]
set size to (31) %
repeat (50)
switch costume to [small v]
change size by (glide)
change [glide v] by (1)
switch costume to [zoom v]

end

Scratchblocks questions:

How do you make the arrow that you can see in Scratchblocks dislay in forum posts (your own blocks, not the existing ones)?
Use @turnLeft (counterclockwise), @turnRight (clockwise), or @loopArrow (seen in repeat and forever blocks). For example:
I will turn @turnLeft (0.21) turns!::motion
I will turn @turnRight (0.18) turns!::motion
I will loop this script above (4) times! @loopArrow::control
(Please note that the @loopArrow will always come at the end of a block.)

DON'T POST YOUR ISSUES HERE. MAKE A NEW TOPIC FOR IT.
This topic is intended to be a directory of issues/questions on Help with Scripts. This directory almost got closed indefinetly due to people asking for help on their own projects.
Also a note to the ST: Don't close this topic when offtopic posts are getting posted here. Just remove the offtopic ones.
