If you know how to locally enable flags, does this still happen when you enable StudioRefactorPluginWidgets3?

Hey, with that flag enabled the issue is indeed fixed. Thanks for the followup.
What does this do exactly? Does it disable PluginWidgets or something? Never heard of that setting before.
I’m getting this issue too.
There’s lots of “settings” you haven’t heard of – they’re internal flags. I’m pretty sure that there’s hundreds of them. They are used internally to turn on features without updating Roblox, then turn the feature off if something goes wrong with the implementation (e.g. tons of crashes or other bugs).
In this case, it looks like it’s a refactor of plugin widgets. A refactor is when you keep a feature but make changes to the underlying code. In this case, Roblox made internal changes to plugin widgets so that they perform better and don’t freeze Studio.
I don’t think I’m supposed to tell you how to change the flags (called fast flags). They can make Studio unstable and even break your saved files and models such that you can’t use them ever again. Usually in-depth posts about fast flags come with a warning by a staff member or are asked to be removed by a staff member.

Ah.
I’m aware of where they are. I might change the Plugin flag since it could potentially fix issues I’m having with them. Just never changed them because I don’t want to potentially brick Studio.
Is there a working solution for this issue?
Yes, enable the StudioRefactorPluginWidgets3 flag as stated above.
Use GitHub - MaximumADHD/Roblox-Studio-Mod-Manager: An open-source custom bootstrapper for Roblox Studio that allows you to override files in Roblox Studio's directory, opt into development branches of Roblox, and experiment with Fast Flags. if you do not know how to toggle flags yourself.

Does enabling that flag somehow allow 2 plugin widgets that look exactly the same to be displayed? When my studio crashes, I notice 2 toolboxes in the bottom left. When I relaunch with this flag enabled, I can play solo, but I have 2 toolboxes. One appears to be controlled by the RibbonBar>View>Toolbox button, and they both work.
I’m not sure, all I know is that it was mentioned above that the issue in OP is fixed when that flag is enabled. I don’t have this issue myself.
(Please note that at the moment you toggle the flag configuration of your place, any bugs that you observe are to be taken as granted, because this is outside the default configuration. If an issue occurs without modifying any flags only then you can report it as a bug.)
