BillboardGui doesn't fire clicking when not parented to PlayerGui

When using a BilboardGui that is put in PlayerGui, everything works fine as it should. Though when you start to put them deeper, for example in a Folder, it no longer allows you to click GuiButton objects inside of the BilboardGui

I’ve tested multiple methods of getting this to work. And I find that the only way for a BilboardGui to allow clicking is when it is parented directly to PlayerGui with no sublevels.

This will work fine:

Whereas this will not allow you to click the button:

I’ve made a simple repro, and have been able to redo this “issue” each time I used a BilboardGui not parented to PlayerGui.

I’m fairly sure the use of folders stops input from all guis altogether, but as to why I’m not sure, whether intentional or not.

The same case goes for if you parent it to a ScreenGui object.
