V5.51 - Feedback

Is it just global variables or doe it include local variables?

Do macros saved in 5.49.12, deleted in 5.49.12 and then imported into 5.49.12 generate phantom variables?

I've seen this only with global vars.

No, with 5.49.12 the problem doesnt appear. But since 5.49.13 - yes.
I think, maybe some macros contain some hidden corrupted variables. So MD tries to include that to the Variables page but as unused. I delete it and save mdr, then reload and see them again as MD scans macros and restore that phantom variables. That's my version.
The real problem with updating to 5.53.3 was that in one macro a real implemented variable became substituted to the phantom one. While the macro seemed to be the same. A global variable was used twice in macro - the first time it was performing well but the second time was issuing errors in log with the phantom variable instead, and it caused the macro to be not running well. While it was completely runnable in 5.49.

In this beta is a bug with action block action editing.
If you open a macro with an existing action block invoked, then long click and 'configure', then tap on the block name, then you see the action block list where you choose any other block, then in the editing window you press CANCEL. But then the block's name in 'action block' action is changed anyway! It is a first bug.
But there is a following bug at this case:
If then you press 'back' button to exit the macro, MD doesn't understand the macro is changed with that broken action block and for unknown reason is saving anyway this spoiled macro! But look, you didn't change the macro (you did cancel and back) but it is spoiled.

Look how the action block's name been changed with the CANCEL button and then the macro been saved with the Back key pressed.

It seems I reported a very same bug on 9/24 (but issue with macro link, not action block link). But it appears dev didn't receive it (as was having issues sending bug reports). This was my intended bug report:

When editing a macro (via Macro Run), if just change name --> Share --> tap "<" (abort), goes back to parent macro showing not found error, & macro has been renamed (as Macro Run doesn't work & must be reconfigured). But if have edited actions/etc, then stays in macro (& unsaved)
