Description
Expected Behavior
I create a new variable. I drag out the set or change block and place them in my program.
I expect these to be setting and changing my variable!
Actual Behavior
...ugh, the dropdown has picked a different variable... whichever variable happens to come first alphabetically.

Research direction

Done means the dropdown selects the newly created variable rather than the first variable alphabetically, with the existing behavior verified after the change.
