Animating Models Containing Parts Of The Same Name Via AnimationController Causes Studio To Freeze

Edit (10/24/2022)
It appears that animator will freeze studio under other circumstances; however, I have been unable to reproduce the causes. All but one case occurred when selecting the model. The one that did not occurred just by opening the animator after closing it prior to successfully selecting a model.

Reproduction Steps
Warning: After completing the following steps, Studio is expected to freeze.

  • Insert two or more parts
  • Group the parts
  • Connect them via Motor6D
  • Insert AnimationController into the model
  • Open Roblox’s default Animation Editor
  • Select the model as your chosen rig

Hi there!

We have released a fix for this issue a few months ago and everything should be running properly now. Are you encountering any more difficulties?
