Bugs in Scratch on Raspberry Pi
I'm new to Scratch and this forum.
I am running Scratch on a Raspberry Pi (standard recommended distribution). Along with a few other users on the Raspberry Pi 'official' forum, I'm tracking a handful of bugs in Scratch some of which appear to be specific to the Pi or its operating system - is it appropriate to post details here?
I'm just trying to get some expert help, but not sure which is the best place to turn...

Re: Bugs in Scratch on Raspberry Pi
Yes, this is the right place to give/get details about Scratch glitches. Why else would this forum be called "Bugs and Glitches"?

Re: Bugs in Scratch on Raspberry Pi
Thanks - the first bug I was going to report has actually already been reported (not just for Raspberry Pi, but Linux in general) here.
However, I have a found a 'workaround' which may help some people, and may also help identify the bug itself, so I have added that information there too.

Re: Bugs in Scratch on Raspberry Pi
Is there any way to get bugs officially reported and tracked so we can see if/when they are fixed? I've reported details of a couple of bugs (specific to the Raspberry Pi in one case, and Linux in general in the other) here, but no progress since. I know it's all voluntary effort, so I'm not expecting immediate response, but I do wonder if these bug reports are getting seen by the people who can help.

Yes, you can create a topic in the Bugs and Glitches forum to report a bug, though there really isn't a system in scratch to "track" a bug, other than a ST member [sometimes] saying that they've fixed a bug. And yes, the bug reports are being seen, though not always immediately after a topic is created.
