Undo after deleting blocks, costumes or background

Scratch v1.2.1

Issue: If you delete a block, costume or background, and then click Undo, the deleted item  shows up by the Undo button, then you have to move the mouse to drag it down and then click the mouse to drop it.

If you click on it to drag, it is gone forever and you can't get it back.

I lost a couple of costumes and a background before I figured out you do not click to drag it, drag it then click to drop it.

I think for the first time Scratch user, this could be very fustrating, because after practicing clicking and dragging blocks, the first thing you do is click to drag it down. I think, most probably never figure it out, they just figure it dosen't work, and never try the Undo again.


Suggestion: Make it like the Undo a deleted Sprite, just put it back where it was.
If you can't do that, in the Help Getting Started and Reference Guide explain how to use the Undo for these items.

Maybe this was just me, if this happen to anyone else, I would like to know.

Re: Undo after deleting blocks, costumes or background

Hi SonicPopsDad,

this is interesting, indeed. I just tested it and can confirm your findings:

1) if you delete a script, press undo, and then accidentally click the mouse, the script is gone, but can be brought back by again pressing the undo button.

- I guess this is as it should be -, whereas

2) clicking the mouse on a "resurrected" costume or sound results in that media being gone for good.

This looks like a bug. I'll investigate and pass this on.
Thanks for reporting this!
