List disappeared from the screen even when shown.

Okay, before anyone says it, no the lists are shown, and no the list doesn't have a hide block active. It just doesn't appear at all, my guess would be that the list is off-screen but even then, I don't know how to solve that. If anyone has encountered this problem before and has worked past it, I would enjoy some pointers. And I can't replace the list because the game is 72 sprites large with almost everything drawing from it. Thanks.

Is it possible it's been moved outside the project player? This is possible due to a bug where the list is moved when you use the scroll bar. You could simply recreate the list, or if you don't want to do that, there is a way to manually pull the list back in by directly modifying the “project.json” file (if you would like some help, I can give you some more info on that).

I'll help you in advance. I'm a Windows user by the way, so many of the following operations may very well be different if you're on a different operating system or a mobile device.

Don't forget to make a backup (a copy) of your project before you modify it, in case you have trouble loading it up after modifying it.

1. Download the project to your computer (click File > Save to your computer).
2. Show File name extensions in File Explorer (click View and check the box on File name extensions), then replace “.sb3” with “.zip” (like you're renaming the file).
3. Double-click the ZIP archive to open it (File Explorer can do this by itself, or you can use your preferred third-party program).
4. Find the “project.json” file within the ZIP archive, and open it too.
5. Press Ctrl+F and type “data_listcontents”, then click Find Next. Exactly what you type should be highlighted.
6. Right next to that, you should see:

"params":{"LIST":">list name<"}

Check the list name part to make sure you're looking at the right list data. If that's not the case, keep using Ctrl+F until you find the affected list in the file.
7. A little after that, you should see this part:

"width":0,"height":0,"x":7,"y":456,"visible":true

And the key parts are “x”:>number< and “y”:>number<. Try changing those numbers to something like 100.
8. Save (click File > Save).
9. After you're out of the project.json file and ZIP archive, set the file type back to SB3 (the same way you set it to .zip), and load up the project (use the Scratch app to check and/or go back to your current project on the website and click File > Load from your computer).


And ta-da! If you did it right, you should hopefully see that the list is back in view.

A list does not appear even when scratch says it's shown!
