Hey all,

I’m facing an issue today where my variables turn into random-looking strings of digits. I have no idea what they are or why it’s happening, it tends to be when I switch between screens on when looking at the blocks. It also seems to be tied into things not working - such as when they turn to random strings, the liveview on mobile fails to show lists.

Hope somebody can shed some light on the issue! - Messed up one:

Normal one:
