Unlocked Sprites NOT Draggable Online ???

I've run into a couple of projects recently that are using unlocked sprites, yet they will not drag - or won't drag consistently - when the project is online.  Here is the most recent case I've come across

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TheMidnightKoops/122361

In the project above, click on the right side of the screen.  You are then supposed to be able to drag the clothing articles over to the bunny.   When I download the project, the sprites appear to be unlocked, yet they do not move online.

I would appreciate it if somebody in the community or on the Scratch Team could take a look at it and tell me what is going on.  Thanks.

I FOUND THE CULPRIT!
The Culprit hides... just like it's name.
IT IS:


<hide>

for mine it's on the pass/fail screen.

I geuss hide doesn't actually take the sprite away.
it just hides all look effects (including costumes).

Re: Unlocked Sprites NOT Draggable Online ???

The issue remains that the project works fine in Scratch, even in Presentation mode.  But it does not work online.  It may be that the Pass/Fail screen is blocking the mouse clicks, even though the screen is hidden.  I tried a different version that sent the Pass/Fail sprite back 10 layers before hiding it but it made no difference, the clothing sprites remained undraggable.   I would appreciate it if somebody could explain if that is what it is supposed to be doing.

I have another project which also shows odd drag behaviour, much more glitchy than this one.  And there are no hidden sprites involved:

On this project, sometimes, the states NM and/or TX will not drag.  Or will only drag after multiple attempts.  Again, this only happens *sometimes* when you open the project in the Java VM.  Very annoying.

Uh... you do know that i fixed it but didn't replace 1.1. I made a 1.2 which can be found here:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TheMidnightKoops/123715
On 1.2, the fail/pass screen moves to the left and only moves back when you go to see the result. so basically, move a sprite that is hiding to off screen to make sure it does not interfere with sprites still showing.
