I've noticed a bit of a glitch  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/2/c/2cd781fe2ddd298183947b21e5c112ec09ad81c6.png)

Note how the wire looping back underneath the Blocky node loops much lower down than the green unexpected debug node one  
But if I copy it to another tab - effect disappears

Just putting this out here in case someone else ever gets it and only then would it be worth investigating I think 🙂

otherwise just a Glitch in the Matrix 🙂

carefully avoiding the status message under the node.... I'd call it a happy accident.

~~That looks like an old version (used to happen, been fixed for some time)~~

~~Can you confirm what version that is (please dont say 3.1 😟 )~~

Ignore that ^

I thought it was the old missing nodes issue

What your seeing is deliberate and was introduced in 3.1 - i'll find the thread, 2 ticks

How can it be deliberate if it behaves differently in another tab?

Yes 🙂  
I'd actually like a compromise between the two - currently the debug node one doesn't quite clear the status text and the other one is a bit too much

Because in the new tab, the blockly node has not yet set a Status message, so there's nothing to avoid.
