what does this scratchblocks do
when I receive

did you mean this?

when I receive [ v]

it's meant to work with this:

broadcast [ v]

when the ‘broadcast’ block is run, any ‘when I receive’ hats with the same message selected will start the scripts they are connected to.

I remember trying to run the broadcast block when I was new to Scratch. I didn't know how it was supposed to be used, so when I tried it, it seemed pointless.

more bugs:

The boolean inputs in custom blocks become round while being named.
If you drag a block definition onto a stack block, its inputs will spawn in order on top of each other in one spot.

So dragging
```
define block (a) (b) (c)
```
onto
```
broadcast [hello world]
```
will cause
```
(a ::custom)
```
to spawn,
```
(b ::custom)
```
to spawn on top of that, and
```
(c ::custom)
```
to spawn on top of both.

The spawn location seems to be fixed.

These bugs with boolean inputs for custom blocks: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/898564
If you use ‘Clean up Blocks’ and refresh the page, any custom blocks with one round input will move toward the top left.

Hi, a while ago many had an image of a huge pfp blocking the way when we try to change hosts, has anyone found a solution, or is the problem still there?

When cleaning up blocks, the blocks seem to be nice and orderly; however, once you go to a different sprite and go back to the sprite with the blocks “cleaned up,” some of the blocks are out of place. This isn't really seen in sprites with a low number of blocks.

If you drag this

(round ())

over this

move (my variable) steps

it wraps the “my variable” block with the “round()” block instead of displacing it from the input (which it used to do before the Spork)

Hm, that's interesting. Yet more functionality that I have to implement in my Scratch 3 editor clone :P
This seems like it could be inconvenient at times if you're trying to replace the block's contents instead.

but hacked blocks look like that
Why do you think those blocks are “hacked”? They appear to be perfectly normal, and function on the old version of the editor.
Try loading the project into this old version of the editor, https://scratchfoundation.github.io/scratch-gui/ it works fine

just look at hacked blocks you might find some that are normal blocks like that but with those weird inputs

Found something weird in one of my old projects, the editor palette glitches when you open it, topic here. This is the first time I've seen it happen, when I worked on the project before it was fine.

The block works fine for me.

It's also working for me

Does anyone know about that thing where you try to drag a block and it gets stuck to your cursor?

Can replicate, it is WEEEIRD. If you make it a short burst of clicks and then zoom out ([Ctrl] + [-]), you might see the stack of outputs grow and then stop. It seems that for some reason if you click too fast it tries to shove all the outputs into a single output bubble. The output bubble actually grows at first but seems to have a maximum height and once that is reached (which happens quickly), it stops growing and any further outputs (which there probably will be) spill out.

The font may be the system font on Windows. (Is this intentional or not?)
[snip]

At least recently it has been the Windows system font (Segoe UI) for me. I don't know when the change happened though, other than that it wasn't when 3.0 came out. I took a look at it in developer tools and here is the relevant portion of the computed style:

font-family "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, sans-serif

Windows doesn't come with a font called Helvetica Neue, so Segoe UI (the next font in the list) is usaually used.
Segoe UI is possibly not the best choice of fallback font as it is more similar to Frutiger than to Helvetica. However, I do think the result of the ‘bug’ is, aesthetically, an improvement.

If it has to look like Helvetica, they really shouldn't use Arial. Arial is basically Helvetica uglified by Microsoft. For some reason, the font called ‘Helvetica’ on Windows appears to be a clone of Arial. To obtain a more authentic-looking version of Helvetica on Windows, the font list should specify ‘Neue Haas Grotesk Text Pro’.

Hello! when I spam click on a reporter block, the values build up weirdly.
Here's how this happens:

 
(pick random (1) to (10)) // Example.

Here's what this is:

(pick random (1) to (10))

This is already known. From post 1:
