lol it has the older Segoe UI font

That's just because you have the older Segoe UI
If you have the newer Segoe UI it will be the newer Segoe UI

Can't we just merge this with my list of bugs topic?

I think this is better, since it's specifically new bugs that popped up with the latest update, some of which are very high priority, instead of all bugs.

Sorry for offtopic, but congrats on getting stickied

not really a bug but it seems unique hacked blocks no longer exists due to the blockly migration (eg red hat not ones like 0^ 0)

Another one: On mobile devices, the on-screen keyboard comes up when you try to type in a number-only input field, such as in the () + () block.

I am creating this because I am sure there are going to be a flood of bug reports, as a rewrite (for a lack of a better term) of the blocks interface has just been released. Please report this to be stickied.

This is a work in progress; please suggest bugs to be added to this list. I used https://github.com/scratchfoundation/scratch-editor/issues/533 as a source for some of these.

Bugs:
You cannot drag a forever block on a mid-stack block. (Related GitHub issue)
Blocks may disappear. (Forum topic)
Block inputs may be blank and non-editable. (Forum topic)
Broadcast block may cause a costume to disappear on a sprite. (Forum topic)
A block that targets the sprite that it is in reports the default option instead. (Forum topic)
The font may be the system font on Windows. (Is this intentional or not?)
The stop block's dropdown uses the incorrect colour in High Contrast Mode.
A broadcast block's dropdown becomes blank after importing a sprite and switching away. (Forum topic)
You cannot connect a hat block above a stack block. (Forum topic)
A pasted block doesn't follow the mouse until places; it duplicates instead. (Forum topic)
A custom block added from the backpack doesn't appear in the palette. (Forum topic)
In Chrome, the variable section doesn't refresh upon variable creation. (Forum topic)
Comments don't expand the workspace while dragging. (Noted by @hotcrystal)
When a comment is attached to a block, the line attaching it doesn't account for comment size. (Related GitHub issue comment)

I’ve experienced issue 1,2,3,10 and also another error that I’m not even sure what it is but my whole project freezes up when a message is broadcasted. I know this is not a bug in my code because it works fine in turbowarp.

Also you can't make new messages in the projects which is a pain.

A bug that I found regarding custom blocks: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/878594. You can add it to the list if you want.

I was working on my game before it started absolutely bugging out, the green flag wouldn't reset things, my broadcasts didn't work, clones didn't even bother existing, my game broke and froze/immediately stopped despite me having 0 end project blocks, audio not playing and just a bunch of bugs… come on scratch, please fix this.

I found another bug: when dragging scripts to delete them they wil join with other scripts behind the block area.

I've noticed that it seems you can connect the block you're holding with other blocks behind the palette, and when you let your mouse/finger up, it will connect and delete all blocks below the place you connected it to.

Is that what you found?
