How to fix this?

If I want to go inside the tile then the block gets stuck with my curser. What can I do to stop this?
I have used this extension (Https://github.com/riknoll/small-tilemaps) before and this never happened to me.

This is a pretty old bug, and it happens with normal tilemaps too. With normal tilemaps I think you can fix this by dragging a new, fresh tilemap block from the Scene tab and dropping it on top of the glitched one, but I have no idea what to do with one from an extension!

Try making a new project, adding the extension again, and doing the same thing. If it happens again, it might just be that this extension broke when the new update came out, which is unfortunate.

This is the same error that happened to me!!! The exact same one. Try opening up your web inspector and screenshot the error logs. I remember something about trying to do the same gesture recursively?

Is there any other extension similar to this??

I noticed that happened to me recently, but it was with ANY BLOCK besides the tilemap block.

I don’t believe there is. The extension you have was made by @richard, who is a Makecode dev and knows how to do all these fancy things. @richard do you have an idea of what might be causing this? It’s a very old bug, and if this extension lets you easily recreate the issue it might lead you to a solution for the OG normal tilemap issue!

For me it was an error with the overworld extension, that ended up with me abandoning a game :frowning:

I may have some information about how I got an error just then!!! I switched tabs while loading an extension in to my project. I don’t know if this helps.

It is happening again. I tried creating a new project and adding the extension, the same thing is happening.

Since @richard hasn’t responded yet, I’m going to do some experimenting on my own computer with this extension. Maybe the browser error logs will tell me something.

Oh, wait, this only adds 8x8 tilemaps! You can use Riknoll/arcade-tile-util to make those and it works! Just find the 8x8 tilemap insert block and drag it into the normal tilemap spot in the normal ‘set tilemap’ block, you’ll figure it out.

Same condition but this time the block which is blue is attached to my cursor.

I think this could happen to every block, as this has happened to me before too. Usually, I just close my computer off and wait for a few minutes.

Oh no! That’s not good. Did you make a new project and add the extension? I haven’t ever had the blue block get stuck before, so I can’t really help with this, sorry! I guess try closing and opening Makecode, making a new project, and only using the tile util extension in the new project. If all that doesn’t work, I’m afraid I’m out of ideas :anxious_face_with_sweat:

I tried in new project. Thanks for helping!

This glitch is also there in my old projects which used to work properly.
Is there any way that I can report this to the person who made this extension?

Makecode had a big update a while ago, and there are still some kinks being worked out. This extension was made by @richard, who is on the Makecode dev team! He 100% knows about this issue, as it has been reported before on this forum, though it is probably low on the priority list.
