Phew... Answering for my students, that's a close race between:

Accidentally editing while the game is running. (greying out boxes?)
Tooltips not being translated :P
A missing overview for rooms (like there is for drawings)
(Small issue:) the "move" button at two exits is not the same (one is translated, the other not - one has a different tool tip, but they do the same) --> my students get confused on how to place an exit in a room not currently shown in the room-window.
(Also small issue:) For nearly every screen I have to tell them to use their browsers to zoom out to 80 or 90% to fit one complete box and to press F11 for fullscreen. Maybe a +/- and fullscreen-button would be helpful?

oh yeah these are all good ones! :D

yeah a few folks have mentioned this.. I like how mosi automatically goes into full screen when in play mode - what do you think of that solution?
I want to add tooltip translations! I need time to go through and catalog all the tooltips though
did you get a chance to try out the bitsy 8.0 beta? I had a prototype of a more general find tool in there that included rooms
ah hmm that move button issue should definitely be fixable
for the screen size issue - are you able to share generally what kinds of devices they're using? and is it all the tools that are too big, or just the room tool?

I wouldn't like a forced fullscreen. While it seems a good fix to hide the editing, the variables window is important to hunt for bugs. Adding zoomlevel and fullscreen as buttons (rop right maybe) would be more of a convenience update. Most students work with a fullhd or 1366x768. I just found that there are actual statistics about that, wow: https://www.screenresolution.org/. It's mostly the room tool, where they didn't notice the bottom row.

I didn't know there was a beta until I saw your last post here. :) Is it still available somewhere?

Seeing other feedback, I also have to second the sorting of drawings in folders. It totally gets out of hand when they start building real intense stuff with objects consisting of multiple drawings. ^^
