After the pro launch it seems the length of text block is broken. For instance, when i run:

when screen.starts  
set Label1.Text to length of “abcdefg”

it doesn’t set label. Other uses also don’t work.

If you update to the latest Thunkable Live app, it should be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
