The <() = ()> block ain't case - sensitive!
This block won't report exactly if there are alike. Like if you put <(LOL) = (lol)> it will report TRUE. Wow! This ain't case sensitive! I think in 2.0 it should be case sensitive.
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<if> <( lol <=> LOL )>
<say[ bug detected!
<wait( 3 )secs]
<stop script>
<end>
<say[ no bug.
[/blocks]
He will say bug detected!

Re: The <() = ()> block ain't case - sensitive!
I've known this for a while, that's why I created a case-sensitive equals boolean in BYOB for the block library.
And this is more of a suggestion, it should probably be in Suggestions.
Yawn.

It isn't entirely a suggestion page.

None of the string inputs in Scratch are case sensitive. It's not a bug, it just wasn't programmed in in the first place.

If they changed the block so it was case-sensitive, older projects might not work the same...

Yeah, I meant to do that.

Maby ANOTHER block that is case sensitive.

Re: The <() = ()> block ain't case - sensitive!
By the way, in Scratch, P = p but Π ≠ π.

What?
You don't get it?
P = Latin capital letter p
p = Latin small letter p
Π = Greek capital letter pi
π = Greek small letter pi

But pi isn't alphanumeric. It's its own strange character.

But А (Cyrillic capital letter a) ≠ а (Cyrillic small letter a) (in Scratch).
It seems that it's only not case-sensitive for Latin letters.

Interesting discovery! I'll keep this in mind... It could be useful in a project telling you what type of character/letter something is.
