Why doesn't my if-then statement in Scratch ever trigger?

Question

I have been using Scratch for a few months, but am suddenly completely and inexplicably stuck. I can't get a simple if-then condition to trigger. After stripping down to the bare essentials, I have this:

the variable d successfully changes when I press space, but never triggers the if-then, even when d=5, as confirmed by the display. What am I missing?

Are you sure that it gets into the when clause? In my idea, the only possible reason can be that, it does not get into the when clause. — Amin Heydari Alashti, Mar 18 '20 at 17:08

You need to add the variable to the expression, like this (Notice the orange color of d, drag it from the section "Variables"):
