Dragging Vivaldi bookmarks into Roblox studio causes it instantly to close

So yesterday I accidentally dragged a bookmark from the Vivaldi browser into Studio, and studio closed instantly (without prompting) and I lost a small amount of work. I tried it again and have found that I can replicate it every time – however it only works when Studio has a place file open, not on the homepage.

I have found the issue on Windows 7. Here’s a video showing what happens to studio when I drag a bookmark from Vivaldi into studio:

This is also showcasing another Roblox Studio issue I’ve found, where studio stops responding (not according to windows, though) when APS is run. I can instantly close Studio when this happens with Vivaldi bookmarks, which is pretty useful as I don’t need to wait for Windows to figure out that Studio is broke lol

Reproduction steps:

  • Install Vivaldi, open it and go to a random website (i.e https://devforum.roblox.com/)
  • Open Studio and open a place
  • Drag the icon at the left side of the URL bar (this is how most browsers let people quickly save bookmarks, if you want to use an premade bookmark, they are the same so you can) into Studio.
  • Studio should instantly close (woohoo)

While this specific issue is pretty niche and won’t affect many people, I’m thinking that this could possibly showcasing a vulnerability in how Studio handles files being dragged into it or something. So that’s the purpose of my bug report :slight_smile:

A safe assumption to make would be that since studio doesn’t react when dragged into the home page, the bookmark must be being interpreted as a model of some kind.

A good place for engineers to start looking if my hunch is right should be the chunk of code that screens models dragged in.

btw YouTube takes a few minutes post-upload to do some extra processing, so your video isn’t low quality anymore.
