Android tablet: MakeCode block cannot be deselected #943

Description

@microbit-grace

When using the ‘Play melody’ block in MakeCode it is possible to get to a situation where the block is on the stage, not placed in a container block, and you are not able to select other blocks or delete the melody block

Repro steps:

  1. Go to makecode in CreateAI (Android)
  2. Drag out the Play melody block
  3. Either place the block on the stage or a container block
  4. Drag out the musical note block from the melody
  5. Try to move this to another node or to delete
  6. This block is now blocking all interaction with the stage and block menu
  7. It can’t be deleted

Feedback from the Teacher, they had a similar issue but with variables and duplicating blocks. Further testing seems to show that it is dragging out or dragging over another block that swaps a block/ variables or the lozenge shaped blocks from their parents. When this happens audio stops playing when tapping or interacting with blocks.

Reproducible on:

Cannot reproduce on iPad, or on makecode.microbit.org
