Hiya, kenziekupyn and the rest of the Bitsy community! What you describe is what I noticed right-away when I started using v8.8. It's a BUG!! I hope Adam can fix it, because even tho you can use the workaround for now, it's so annoying. I'm sure more than just us have encountered it, just that no-one has come forth to suggest a permanent fix, so Adam, if you're around, PLEASE update the Bitsy Editor to get rid of that BUG.
And thank you, Adam. I've been using Bitsy (as well as Mosi, Bipsi, etc) for many months now and I love it! Past Engines I've used were the RPG Maker series (RM2K is my fave), but then I shifted to James Paige's OHRRPGCE (it's VERY complex, but I've used it for so many years that I know my way around, as well as coming up with new ideas to get around certain limitations!).
Sorry for using this thread to introduce myself, but this is the first in a LONG time of me ever making an online account for gaming purposes. I check the Bitsy Forum fairly often, and I'll try to reply to help ppl as much as I can. As for things I've done in Bitsy, well, I've made some games myself, but I also made my own versions of Rob Duarte's amazing YouTube tutorial videos. I also like to edit other ppl's B.Games, often adding my own stuff to their originals, it's so fun!
Now to reply a post on here from awhile back, since nobody knows about it. Cheers to everyone and happy game-making! :D
