Sorry if this has already been answered 50 times, but here it goes: why does

x = 0; Row[{Dynamic[x], Button["increment", (x++;
    FinishDynamic[]; Pause[1]; x++)]}]

only ever display even values of x? i.e., why doesn't the dynamic content get refreshed after the first x++?

You need to add Method -> "Queued" to the button. – Kuba May 15 '19 at 07:26
