I’d like to be able to have a button change positions when it’s clicked. [I accidentally used the When Screen Opens block instead of the When Button Clicked block but it’s the same issue either way.] But when I try to select the button’s Y property, I get an error. See this video (no sound) for a demo of the problem: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/n2mFVrrBxZw/hqdefault.jpg "Button Y Property Missing") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2mFVrrBxZw) You’ll see this in the video but here’s a screenshot of what happens when I try to set the property to Y: ![Screen Shot 2020-10-14 at 2.47.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/1/71c5bf95265f3592d67e1c19a3286c778ba5375f.png) ---

Sorry, that y property should not be there. We’ll remove it. It’s a beta drag and drop property only, but accidentally got out to the main release. ---

☹ Okay. Would be cool to use that property but I’ll find another way to do what I need. ---

I’ve seen X/Y Properties on a number of controls including text boxes, loading icons, labels, switches, and maps. Are these errors too? ---
