Same thing is happening to me. Even if I don’t alt-tab, the playtest can sometimes just cause a permanent spinning wheel cursor for me.
As a professional programmer working in a large MMO-RPG, I can confirm this bug exists, I’ve had many annoying run ins with this bug and unfortunately there is’nt anyway to fix this except re-launching the studio at this moment.
This happens for me on a daily basis. It is very annoying.
The only way I can get the cursor to stop is by completely closing Roblox Studio and opening it again. This is a workflow disturbance and I have to do it 1-3 times every day of development.
Even closing the place is not enough, you have to close Roblox Studio entirely.
I can confirm, have been dealing with this issue for a while now. Also this is the most annoying bug to deal with whilst trying to develop if you aren’t sure where the cursor is going to click.
I’ve also had this happen at least once a day for the past couple weeks. I can never continue to work because of how inaccurate a loading cursor is and the only way to fix this is to close and reopen studio.
I wouldn’t necessarily complain, this is normally a minor bug, except for the fact that it takes forever to close Roblox Studio because of this:
So are they unable to reproduce this or what? Is this difficult to fix? This has been a problem for over a year and I experience it almost every single time I use Studio.
Can confirm it exists, and it completely destroys the workflow.
The blue circle is the mouse spinning meaning the cpu is executing something. Kinda like when a program crashes, the cursor is spinning.
Its also caused when your place autosaves whilst inserting any model
I’ve had this issue with autosaves more recently
Still experiencing this bug regularly with the only solution being to close studio entirely and reload it. It’s crazy how after three years this still hasn’t been fixed. Very annoying. I guess the studio developers are still busy with “modernizing” every icon into a soulless gray blob.
Bumping thanks to this still being an issue 2+ years in
yeah, I’m actually experiencing this bug right now and all it really does is mildly annoy me
Crazy that its been 2 years and this still isn’t fixed… good job roblox.
I have found a fix for you guys ^^ !!~ Its really simple actually, when you run into the cursor glitch, go into any object’s properties, click on the selection box for parent property, then click on the main interface of Roblox and boom! Fixed!
got this issue today. Was gonna search, but then found this!
I am experiencing an issue when It autosaves the place the same as the past year previously.
This is pretty annoying, especially while scripting, hope this will be fixed someday
Finally a fix after 5 years of agony dealing with this bug. Thank you!
