Very weird glitched block that has a suspended string attached to nothing. I dub it, the potato block!

You cant drag it, nor does it have a visible outline. It looks like this:

(potato bloceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek ::#FFFFFF) // I am a potato block! (imagine theres text in the block     )

You can type in it and save the text you put inside it, but the text has a limited length before it cuts off. (like this…)

Yeah, looks like Scratch has been fiddling with their code for a bit and it's been a bit buggy. The other day, I had a dozen of these pop out of my custom blocks, which had to be replaced. It's annoying and hard to remove (I used some extension features to delete them).
They seem to appear by popping out of blocks they originally belonged to.

([potato block]::#fff)

Didn't happen to me (I mean it is there in the hacked project, but I didn't see it appear in my projects on its own)

Weird! Those look like quality potatoes - much higher than potato quality!

Have you seen that happen without editing JSON directly and without using any browser extensions? If so, do you know how to make it happen? Any information, but especially step-by-step instructions, would help me fix it.

Thanks!

If someone edits a custom block label and puts %s or %b by accident (assuming a second custom block is under the define) the string inputs just slip out and make this.

This has been a glitch for a bit now, but when you would put %s or %b it would just create new strings or booleans

define first block %s %b (string) // custom block with %s or %b
second block [hello!]

define second block (string)  //second block

// this also works if the first block is in the stack:

define first block %s %b (string)
first block %s %b [hello!] ::custom

Did it happen by itself or did you do something to make it happen?

Was it like this? https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/883548/
