  There are probably loads of cases along the lines of "use keyboard to close something that you currently have a context menu open for". To be honest, given we have limited resources available for maintaining C2 I'm not sure it's worth spending that on tracking down all sorts of edge cases like this, versus more important issues.

  That probably means the server caching settings are wrong, which is the problem you should be solving instead.

  Note this is the Construct 2 forum. If you are using Construct 3 you should post in that section instead or people may miss it.

  Experimental features are disabled by default for a reason - usually they're known to be broken or unfinished. So if you do happen to try them out make sure you disable them afterwards.

  I just tried iOS 12.4 as well and it worked fine there too.

  This is absolutely typical and is why we have the bug report guidelines - usually we cannot make any progress at all without all that information.

  I'm afraid I have no update to provide. We deal with hundreds of feature requests, thousands of bug reports, our own internal priorities, and all the other support and administration that comes with running a software company, and we have just three developers. We simply don't have the resources to tackle everything quickly, let alone huge projects such as this one that would likely involve overhauling how much of Construct itself works.

  No, at the moment it is precisely what I described previously.

  Ultimately to properly fix this there needs to be a dynamic order that is aware of the hierarchy of pinning, which is essentially a scene graph. That would be a major overhaul of the current architecture of Construct though. There is an existing suggestion for it too.

  Yeah, it's basically just a notification you can ignore.

  I think the only difference is a few of the built-in uniforms changed. See the supported effect uniforms here and make sure you only use the documented ones as described.

  That game loads fine for me on an iPad running iOS 13.

  The order objects are ticked has to be in some order, which means it has to depend on something. Currently I'd call it an undefined order, meaning you shouldn't rely on any particular ordering at all... but as it happens the engine probably currently relies on the order in the project bar, which is affected by subfolders.

  You can also use the Browser object to detect if an update is available and prompt them to reload.

  Of course you can set a global variable inside a function. The whole purpose of global variables is you can access them anywhere. If you don't see it, it's probably not a global variable, or is set to be constant.

  The game should update automatically. You can also use the Browser object to detect if an update is available and prompt them to reload. Trying to force all browser storage to be cleared is the wrong approach.

  They're sort of similar in that they essentially pause execution for a while and later resume, but there are many details that are different. Look up a tutorial on using async functions in Javascript, there's lots of information on the web.
