Perhaps related to #507

When you drag a script which contains variables and/or lists from the backpack, the variables do not show up in the pallet until

1. The script has been executed once

AND

1. Something causes the pallet to update, such as clicking on another block category (Motion for example) and then going back to the Variables category

This could be quite confusing to programmers - and in at least one case has apparently caused them to think the variables didn't come over and they ended up recreating the script manually.

It would be better if the variables were created (and the pallet refreshed) as soon as the script is dropped from the Backpack into the current project.

Needs to refresh when the script first executes.
