That is to erase the color ---

Hi @beatbaba7leb, thanks for reaching out. There is a current known issue with our canvas where setting the background to transparent is not functioning properly. The issue has been acknowledged by our engineering team but unfortunately, we do not yet have a timeline for fixing the issue. > [@Issues with sprite causing transparent canvas to be opaque white. \[July 2022\]](https://community.thunkable.com/t/issues-with-sprite-causing-transparent-canvas-to-be-opaque-white-july-2022/1984493/5): > > @deanmachine I’ll make a note to keep you updated on this, it may get moved up as a higher priority bug now that we are seeing an increase in users experiencing the problem. You can also keep an eye out on our [Release Notes](https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes) to see what changes and fixes are being deployed. Feel free to reach out if you need anything else! ---

Matt Sorry I’m first I’m using the canvas how do I capture x and y position of the Sprite user touches. Also how do I make a text label appear at that position or move that label with the text. ---

Just adding … The spirit I’m talking about are created using create block. But just reading from other post I do have a drawing on. Yesterday when I tried to get… when spirit touch component XY blocks it even stopped creating spirits. I’m not in front of PC right now so can’t share. ---

@beatbaba7leb Do you still need assistance with this? Could you share your blocks if you do so we can help assist? ---

@matt_conroy I do still need assistance with this, I’m having the same problem as he is, although I have no blocks to share as nothing I try allows me to know where the pointer is, nor can I erase anything with any of the blocks. I’ve tried a lot of different variations and nothing changes. Do you have some blocks that would get us started? ---

> [@beatbaba7leb](#): > > how do I capture x and y position of the Sprite user touches Each time a click event occurs, you could capture the X and Y position of the sprite through the use of the `get X` or `get Y` blocks. ![Screenshot 2024-04-16 at 2.26.40 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/d/9d6310d42987be10ac10e477f252a8418746c595.png) > [@beatbaba7leb](#): > > how do I make a text label appear at that position or move that label with the text.

They should be! There is another issue with the canvas blocks: > [@Canvas drawing color bug](https://community.thunkable.com/t/canvas-drawing-color-bug/2939944/1): > > Hi Thunkable folks, I have a simple drawing app that has a funny bug in it. The same app worked about a year ago, so it seems like it is potentially due to a Thunkable change. You can find the app here: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/3064d08adea7cd940fb55a454e5c7470) This app runs fine for me on my device, but it crashes immediately in the Web Preview. I have determined the the culprit is setting a Canvas Stage’s “drawing color” when the screen is opening. This crashes the web preview: [2024-04-10 12\_20\_13-Window] The problem is that I want to … But this is because of canvas blocks being set when a particular screen loads. They should always be set with the “When canvas loads” block to have behavior that occurs when the canvas component is available. The canvas isn’t loaded when the screen starts which can cause issues or errors. ![image - 2024-03-27T142853.386](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/e/0e1345ac4199196826de4c4e35aac6c6d234aff1.png) In the longer term, our engineering team will work to get a fix here so that you can use the `when canvas loads` block again. ---

Hello @overshield Unfortunately, it seems that Label Canvas blocks don’t have any effect on mobile but they work on Web Preview. ![image (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/d/0dbba0fe9a5d19f6f2759c1b63681dbf7627a27d.png) We’re committed to finding a resolution quickly, and we will keep you updated as soon as there is any progress. ---
