[etoys-notify] [JIRA] Commented: (SQ-704) If you put a function in a TEST Tile you can't remove it

David Corking commented on SQ-704:
----------------------------------

Good idea Stephen. A delete handle or a move handle would indeed by useful (an experienced user can of course blue click 7 times until the PhraseTile's halo appears.)

Alternatively, the syntax of the function tile could be drastically re-designed, so it becomes a message to an object, such as 
Car's heading degreeTan
to replace the present
degreeTan (Car's heading)
The advantage would be that in an ordinary Etoys message, there is a consistent rule to click and drag tiles.

Before discussing either change, I would be interested to hear the impact this has had in actual classrooms or after school clubs.  Do users who don't find the 'remove function' action spot a workaround: (drag and trash the unwanted Test tile, then add a new one)?

> To re-create
> 1) put a Test/Yes/No tile in a script
> 2) from the treasure chest in Script Editor drag random or abs into the Test
> 3) Try and remove the random or abs from the Test
> You can do this with other tiles in the Test, but not functions, because it seems each area you click on has a mouse down behavior.
