Good evening  
I can’t take “Else” out of the box I touch by touching the gear.  
When I try to take it out, the frame changes.  
Does anyone know why?

Good evening,

If you want to remove the else, then drag it onto the gray field on the left side of the box. If you ask why the box size is changing, then I have a question, why should it not change? Can’t you remove the else from the block?

Drag the “else” unto the grayed area on the left if you want to remove it.  
Drag it so that it attaches to the bottom of the “if” if you want to add it.

Thanks, I understand trying to do it on app inventor.  
I was so convinced of having to drag it out that I didn’t see the block change.
