The Disappearing Broadcasts bug
I am making a computer with a lot of broadcasts. I made one called get OFF and later I made one called get off. For some reason, after I made the one called get off, on the drop-down broadcasts list, it never says the one called get OFF. I think it's a bug.
I'm Upsilon920 for everything else.

This usually happens when all the blocks that contained get off were deleted.
If you deleted the block, that would do it.

Well,I didn't delete the block. For some reason, it keeps acting like get OFF is get off.

Re: The Disappearing Broadcasts bug
I would make a joke about one of the broadcast names but I'd get myself banned 
If there's no scripts starting with 'When I receive [broadcast]', it will delete it automatically.

What? It's not useful. Scratch Team, you've got to explain this.

Say I make a broadcast and then figure out I don't actually need it. I need only delete the block containing the broadcast and it's like nothing ever happened!

Hm... Have you tried renaming the one broadcast so that there's more than just the upper/lowercase which are different? It could easily be that Scratch just doesn't take case into account.

There's your problem. You have two broadcasts named the same thing (just diffrent cases). You could try getoff and get0ff, get off, that sort of thing...
