Hi,

I just uploaded a simple drawing application (click and move mouse to draw a line). This works fine when it's uploaded to the scratch website, but doesn't work when I run this on my iMac or my PC (It sometimes starts to draw, but soon stops drawing even though the mouse is still being pressed.)

Here's my example:

Thanks,
H

Also, when you press the mouse, it starts drawing, then stops. When you release the mouse button, it leaves a small dot.

Have you tried running it locally in presentation mode?

I think BoltBait has the answer here. When you try and run projects that use the mouse in development mode (with the scripts showing), the Scratch program tends to get confused about what you are trying to do when you click the mouse. Sometimes it "thinks" that you want to drag the sprite around on the screen to reposition it. The solution is to test your code in Presentation mode (full screen mode).

Thanks! Using presentation mode does work. It also works correctly when I use single-stepping mode.

I still think it's a bug. It was hard for me to figure out the problem, so I imagine it would be tough for kids also.
