Variable blocks not showing up upon creating a new variable

My browser / operating system: ChromeOS 14541.0.0, Chrome 146.0.0.0, No Flash versions detected
Whenever making a new variable, the latest created variable doesn't show up until going on to another sprite.

Was that directly after creating a new project?

Yea I don't think I saw it?
Edit: i wonder if that's an extension thing or if it's related to this. I'll try testing stuff
Edit 2: yea I think it is.. I'll try to figure out which features are causing it lol (though this isn't happening with any other variable for me)

I figured it out (it's an extension thing) then
I just realized that when I turned on “Square block inputs” one time when it was prev off (in the editor), it hid all the variables. I've made a GitHub issue for them LOL

in the scratch-editor repository ithis threaed is mentioned in spork issue tracker #533 under P2 – Blocks editing broken
  • Variable palette doesn't refresh on variable creation (ChromeOS/Chrome 146)

i can't reproduce this bug (MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Chrome 147)

i will note that a bug i had noticed prior to this where on renaming multiple variables the second and subsequent variable would not update to show their new name until switching to another sprite, seems be gone

As already said, this was an extension thing
