For bugs:
It seems that it doesnt respond when I try to move the textbox into the 
horizontalArrangement. It moves up and down but not into it. Are doing the 
tutorial: quize me and i've done it before, last year. doent really know why it 
doesnt seem to work. Everything is correct installed and updated.
The lable is movable into the horizontalarrangement.

I have google crome with the lastest update. Windows 7

Set the Summary to a descriptive phrase, such as "Phone Call component
drops leading zeroes from numbers", not "App Inventor bug".

such as:
-  The source of your app: use "download to computer" to get the source zip
file
-  A screen shot

Hello pernille,

I am having difficulty recreating the bug. Here's what I did:
1. Created a new App Inventor project
2. Moved a horizontal arrangement onto the designer
3. Moved two textboxes into the horizontal arrangement.
The two textboxes stayed side by side, as expected. Are there any other steps I 
should take to recreate the issue?

Thank you.

I did as the project/tutorial told me. After that I made my own program and
the same problem came up. I solved it by dragging the button pieces that I
wanted in the horizontal arrangement up and down to the top of screen and
then I clicked on the screen until it popped in place.
I don't remember the exact steps but I added the things I needed (it was
more things than just two text boxes and the horizontal arrangement) and
when I wanted to move them in place it bugged and the program did a little
as it wanted and the blocks just jumped around when I tried to move them,
some times it worked as some times it just moved some where else.
The blocks I used was:

lable

lable

button

button2

horizontal arrangement

when I tried to move the horizontal arrangement it just popped back to the
bottom. But when i dragged it to the top it ended up like this:

label

horizontal arrangement

label

button

button2

And then when I click the first label it popped in to the horizontal
arrangement.

But the problem isn't just the horizontal arrangement. It's also when you
try to drag and drop everything else and it doesn't come in place. It pop
back or it pop before or below where I want to put it.

When I start it all over and have:

label

label

button

button2

horizontal arrangement

And the try to put the buttons in the horizontal arrangement it works
for the first button but not for the second one. That one just pop to the
bottom. The it comes out like this:

label

label

horizontal arrangement/button

button

when I drag the button to the top it comes in second place.

label

button2

label

horizontal arrangement/button

then when I click it it pop one step down until it finally pop in to the
horizontal arrangement. Like this:

1 click:

label

label

button2

horizontal arrangement/button

2 clicks:

label

label

horizontal arrangement/button/button2

3 clicks:

label

label

horizontal arrangement/button

button2

Hope you understand how I mean :-)
