Reproduction Steps
Open a place file then create a new blank place file from this window.
System info: Windows 10 Pro 64bit - Intel i7-7700k @ 4.80GHz, 32GB, Nvidia 2080 Super
Beta features: All of them are enabled aside from non-strict scripts.
Expected Behavior
Pressing ‘New Place File’ should open the default baseplate in a new studio window.
Actual Behavior
The new studio window with default baseplate is opened fine, but the previous studio window from which you pressed ‘New Place’ (via the New button at the top left or via CTRL+N) permanently shows a ‘Loading baseplate…’ window which cannot be closed, rendering the studio window unusable. Trying to click/interact with studio will play the windows error sound to no avail. The studio window cannot be closed either using Alt+F4 or pressing X. The program is not frozen/hanging, but the dialogue just prevents any further actions.
Pressing ‘cancel’ will display ‘Adding current script version history before closing place’ to then show ‘Loading game (attempt number)’ in an infinite loop.
Workaround
In order to close studio, it must be forcibly done via the task manager.
To avoid my main studio window from being rendered unusable, I open a different place file from File > Open Recent and create a new place file from there, then force shutdown the now unusable recent place studio window.
