[microworlds] "Open in Scratch" button not opening consistently

[ntlrsk]

It's great to have the "Open in Scratch" button for the embedded microworlds projects.

So far it seems sometimes the 'Open in Scratch' button is working well for me, other times it isn't opening the project. Sometimes when logged in it prompts log in again. Other times it works fine.

Tried in Chrome and Safari and having similar issues. I haven't figured out consistently - not sure if it's related to server issues, so will try again tomorrow. Thanks!

Still trying to repro...

Microworlds pages:

• https://scratch.mit.edu/pathways/fashion/
• https://scratch.mit.edu/pathways/hiphop/

Chrome Version 52.0.2743.82 (64-bit), Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G31)

• Tried clicking the Open in Scratch button in fashion & hiphop projects while signed in as a teacher account; worked as expected (though kind of slow?)
• Clicked the button in fashion & hiphop while signed in as a mod (jwzimmer1990); worked as expected
• Clicked on button in fashion while signed out, pop-out asked me to sign in, I signed in as jwzimmer1990 and proceeded to my remix as expected
• I noticed if you click the button repeatedly, quickly, both the remix title comes up and a copy of that title, as in, you can create multiple projects at more or less the same time that are remixes of the microworld project if you click the button fast enough. For example, see project ID 118013919, which is a copy of a copy of a remix.
• I played part of the embedded video, moved blocks and dragged sprites around, deleted blocks, then clicked Open in Scratch button; it worked as expected, although the changes I made to the blocks weren't saved (I think this is consistent with Scratch, although usually you have the option to sign in to save your work, and here you don't).

Thanks @jwzimmer "Open in Scratch" seems working well now for me too - so should we close this? Good point about not being warned that the changes aren't saved.

As discussed with @ntlrsk, closing in favor of https://github.com/LLK/scratch-www/issues/818. The open button in the two microworlds hosted on scratch (fashion and hiphop) seems to be working consistently. There is an issue with the button not working in www pages, which is addressed in https://github.com/LLK/scratch-www/issues/818.
