This also allows variables with (seemingly) identical names:

I'll work on this bug. After a bit of research, the issue seems to actually lie in the scratch-blocks repo.

[Scimonster]

So, the part about the block names in the palette was in scratch-blocks, and fixing it on stage monitors was in scratch-vm. Just submitted PR LLK/scratch-vm#701 to fix it there.

I recommend closing this after those two are resolved.

Apparently fixed:

Upstream merge solved this! Thanks for the patience.

[Scimonster]

@towerofnix Well, one of the two parts was fixed.

Second PR has been merged; this issue can be closed.
