Students having issues running their code in CodeBuilder.
I'm going through the Minecraft Education Computer Science lessons. I've experienced multiple bugs in the lessons, such as some activities not showing the "activity complete" message when they've accomplished the task. One of the biggest issues though, is that certain students' CodeBuilder isn't working properly. They will enter in their lines of code, and then when they press the green start button to run their code... the button will turn red and then never run their code. It happens whether they use an "on start" command or an "on chat" command. This only happens to a few students, other students are able to access CodeBuilder without any problems. This means the students who are having these issues aren't able to complete any of the coding lessons.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi, Joshua Yoder In the past this has come up for me, and the problem has been elusive to tie down.
My attempts have included just hitting the button twice, copying the code and trying to paste it back in (but if the lesson need step by step code that's no fun!) I don't remember off the top of my head how those lessons run. Which ones are you on now? I will go back over my notes.) You do know how to reset code builder in the upper right corner, I'm assuming? (which, as you say, doesn't help the student who already started.)
Are all of your students on identical machines, by the way? I had most of my trouble on earlier versions with my Mac (school device) and less trouble with recent versions. Again sorry for the troubles, but do let me know where the problem lessons are if it isn't too much trouble and I will help as I can, and we will get you to the help ticket folks if this persists. (or you can just go directly there, of course.)

We are currently in the Block-Based Coding section. It is in the Coding Fundamentals 2 - Lesson 1: Space Center. I've gotten the issue before with a few students, but for some reason I had around 10 more students get it during this lesson, so they weren't able to complete the lesson.
All students are on identical machines - Dell Inspirion laptops.
