That's bad. Have you edited your location to a blank?

Can't you use the Inspect Element editor to change it back?

No. The code is missing.

you should be able to use inspect element and just manually search through the code to find the location parts.

I did, but it's entirely gone.

Yes, accidentally.

It happens. If someone wants to look at the topic but doesn't have any good response, then they won't reply.

It's a bug the ST already knew about for a very long time. In terms of the list of bugs to tackle, it's kind of on the low end of the list right now. Scratch 2.0 bugs have higher priority, for obvious reasons.

Actually, you can fix it: Right click where the location is supposed to be and select "Inspect Element". Find this code in the editor:

Code:

<div id="user_state" title="Click to edit" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-image: none;" class=""> </div>

Right click on the line of code and select "Edit as HTML". Put something inside the DIV, anything will work, like "Lorem Ipsum". Now, your location will be visible on the page. Click on it, and, instead of a dropdown, a textbox will appear; type something in and click OK. Fixed! 

===========

That full line of code doesn't exist. Only the part

<div id="user_state" title="Click to edit"> </div>

does.

This is how I fixed it:

1) Search using the Inspect Element function to find the following code:

<div id="user_state" title="Click to edit"> </div>

2) Replace the above code by clicking "Edit As HTML" with:

<div id="user_state" title="Click to edit" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-image: none;" class="">[FILLSOMETHINGINHERE]</div>

3) Then, replace the "[FILLSOMETHINGINHERE]" in the above code with anything but a blank and hit "Enter" ("Return" on a Mac".)

4) Away from Element Inspector, under "Location:", click on the text which you replaced  "[FILLSOMETHINGINHERE]" with. It should be highlighted in yellow.

5) A/An (empty) textbox should appear. Enter in whatever you want for your location. Click "ok" once done.

6) That's it! Refresh the page to see if it is there. It should be. If it isn't, try again.

Credit to Gravitation for the help! Thanks!
