When i press a button in DESIGN mode of my project the screen goes blank, although the url is there. I tried to delete it but with no avail.The screen goes blank again and the deletion cannot be done. In a previous backup of the project it’s working properly but I have made so many changes in the recent backup that cannot go back now and I want to edit the properties of this component (button). Is there any way to solve this very frustrating issue? Thanks in advance ---

Hi @ringraith2, great to see you in a the Community again! Can you share your project link with us? I think this is something we will need to fix manually. Thanks. ---

Thanks for the reply domhnallohanion, but I switched back to a previous project’s backup and manually copied the relevant code blocks to bring it in the situation i wanted. It took me two days work only for copy paste blocks, but I finally done it. I think there was something with the button’s properties that made the editing unavailable. Be aware of this, as it may be a serious bug in designing mode… … and i never left the community nor the Thunkable.X project (I’m working far too long now on this). Thunkable is GREAT when it’s working, but in a year or so that I’m working on my project, I’ve faced a lot of bugs, which you’re correcting them with updates but there are very frustrating when they happen. Thanks again and keep up the good work… ---
