  You can also zoom from the browser menu.

  I just created a new keystore and did a signed release APK build, and it worked fine.

  The error message includes "Wrong password?" which suggests the password was incorrect.

  OK, so that sounds more like something to do with Construct. But there's still very little to go on, as ever the reproducible steps are key. Any idea if you can narrow down when precisely the "greying out" (dimmer) appears?

  Click the link I provided previously. Please read the bug report guidelines, videos are generally not useful in bug reports.

  If the problem happens in C3, please file it to the C3 tracker. Closing this issue.

  The browser runs your JavaScript code, not Construct. Switch-case is a basic feature that has been around for decades and if it was broken, significant portions of the entire web would stop working. So by far the most likely culprit is your code is wrong. It's hard to say more without seeing all your code.

  Are you reporting a C2 bug or a C3 bug? C2 is being retired next year and is only receiving critical updates now. C3 bugs should be filed here instead: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs

  Can you identify which browser extension is the one that causes the problem? It would be useful to know in case anyone else runs in to the same problem. I could also look in to a way of notifying the developer, or working around the problem.

  FYI someone posted an off-topic reply, it got a couple of replies, and then the original poster deleted their reply, so I cleaned up the thread to avoid it looking weird.

  It's hard to say anything, it might be a bug. I'd suggest filing an issue following all the guidelines. We need all that information to figure out what's going on anyway.

  Do you have any browser extensions? Does disabling them help? Previews work fine for me here and the error is quite mysterious - sometimes browser extensions interfere with the page and break stuff.

  It's running identical code on both platforms, so it should work identically. If you think there is a bug, please file an issue following all the guidelines. It's impossible to help otherwise.

  From the manual entry for 'Invoke download':

  Downloading is a browser feature and depends on the browser UI. Note that mobile apps don't run in browsers (there is no address bar etc), so the download feature isn't available there. Consider using the Share plugin to share the file instead.

  I think we will need to update the library the editor uses to parse JS code to support the new syntax. This applies only for new features that involve new syntax and so need new code to recognise them. There might also be a lag time between browsers adding support and the library adding support.

  I wouldn't recommend using really new features anyway until all browsers and platforms support them. Otherwise you'll end up with a broken game in certain places.

  It's not clear what anyone's actually seeing. Can someone share a screenshot? I'm not sure if it's Construct's own dimmer, or something the browser is doing.

  The specific ordering in the engine is very complicated, varies depending on the feature, occasionally changes, and is the type of thing people really should avoid depending on if they can, so it's not documented.
