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.

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 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

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