last button is wait for glyph

version shown when opening is 2017.01.16.01

running windows 10 -downloaded your new down file ran the update, it only wanted to update/repair. SO, I deleted the ARC program, and then downloaded/ran the new update file. Got result above.

I am out of ideas?

@DJ... I am getting the same as Eagle218... Current version of ARC (16.01)... went to the cloud downloaded current JD.EZB file... last button is wait for glyph. Nothing afterwards. However, I don't use RoboScratch so I could be missing a step here...

That's super strange. The project has nothing to do with the wait for speech bubble, and it displays on my pcs. I'll reupload a new build and maybe it's a corrupt file in the installer. Something like this has happened in the past once or twice we have experienced.

I'll upload a new build later this afternoon.

I re-compiled and uploaded a new build. This thread title has been renamed with the new build to reflect version. There are no changes to this build, other than a recompile.
