I’m not sure if this bug came with the update, I’m not even sure if it affects other people but I have this bug where if I drag an if statement block to delete it the “camera” will focus back to the on start block.  
I can explain in more detail if needed.

I believe the changes were only to the browser version, to make them sound accurate to the hardware.

I didn’t explain the issue very well…  
I meant that when I try to delete one of these:

The editor focuses back to the centre of… well, of the editor.

I hope that helped and I that I don’t read it in a few hours and realize that it doesn’t make sense.

Same with me, except when I delete any block the “camera” almost ALWAYS focuses on one certain block in my code which is really annoying. Because of this now there’s a bunch of deattached blocks all around my code because I didn’t want to have to find the code I was working on after deleting a block.

So…is anybody else running into issues with audio slowly turning to static over time and eventually muting itself all together?-

yes I have been having that problem as well, along with whenever I delete anything it sends me to the top left of the editor.

Yeah, there was an error and I checked what it was by clicking that symbol on the block then I fixed it while it was was still open. And now it’s just… there.
