I absolutely love the speed now!! But, lots of bugs. Experiencing all the crashing and random characters for variables everyone else is. ---

Going slow is the key. It will save as long as you stop in between each step for a second. I am having another issue though. I have to encode and decode text for use with my program and it’s as simple as replacing spaces with + signs and vica versa. But with the new update the system keeps fighting me by deleting the space in the replace text block. Any workarounds? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/5/95a3b0b04f3522f87c57ddbe5b0b23ea344dd82b.png) ---

Another thing is I notice my webview videos no longer rotate when full screen is selected. I was getting the correct behavior before. ---

Nope, it still deletes the space. It’s random though, it’s not right away. It’s just at some random time when it re-compiles the code. ---

Having the same problem with single spaces being deleted in text blocks, very annoying. Have opened a new issue on Github. > > > Thanks so much for filing an issue or feature request! Please fill out the following (wherever relevant): > Platform: ✕ > Issue/Request Origin > I see others... ---

I would generally recommend to always replace the faded boxes with real ones to avoid issues. I think those faded boxes actually only exist to prevent failures of the code caused by missing content but maybe Thunkable can clarify this. Best, Chris ---

@jane wouldn’t it be a good idea to implement a beta version again? So people can try the new features & changes and give their feedback but there would still be a stable and publicly tested version out. I also really wish for a backup&restore solution 🙊 Best, Chris ---

Hello, In my case it is crashing, over and over, equal waht I try to do on the Blocks area… ![crash](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/c/0c90e8497d3df6331f4cad434224d613d62acf9d.png) ---

@jane When making the program that you tried to help me with the other day, I experienced the same issue where it works for a few minutes, then breaks again. The only difference i seem to notice is that it has nothing to do with spaces. Here is my snippet of code that works for a few minutes, then breaks. ![Thunkable 4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/d/bd8b5f827c4300b7fcb10bec18f3e0ab1560c378.png) Also, my variables did the same convert to 32 character code, but i just renamed the initialize, and it went back to normal on those. But also when right clicking on the set variable block where it gives the option to create a get block, it shows the 32 character code as what it makes a block for, which might give some insight to the fact that maybe it is incorrectly named while still showing the custom made name. ---

Sorry that I make a new post for this. I already have made one but there have been no replys, so I make this new one here and the Thunkable people can merge them when they see this. My thunkable program after the update(I think) will not save the block not if I just move a block. See the video. That meen that all my work have been stopped for some days now. I hope you can help me or maybe get me back on the old version. Beside this saving issue, sometimes the live test cracks also.

I understand that this is really an annoying problem. I also had several problems lately that prevent me from continuing my work while I still pay for Thunkable Pro 😕 I hope the team can fix this soon. For a workaround until it is fixed try to wait a second or two before you continue making changes or leaving the page. I hope that helps! Best, Chris ---
