Variable names different by only upper/lower case are linked
Did you know if you have two variables, and their names are the same, except they have different capitalization for the first letter, the variables will both change if you change one. See this project for an example:

You're right, both heights change when you change one, a fascinating glitch.

It only does that Online. In Scratch, they are separate variables. Weird.

Could be an easy way to know if you are online - and do a little feature limiting to deal with the speed and the way the web player works
Although if they fix it then we have a problem.

You can do that with costumes too. Try it. Make a costume named "Costume1" and one called "Costume2" from the home screen.
bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.
