Editing UI in studio broken

I have sent you a private DM with a repo of our game. Click on and off between the Screen Gui and Frame. I tested it with the Repo and the bug is replicating on my side.

  1. Did you observe any of this behavior prior to June 29th?
    No, it happened exactly on the 29th of June for me.
  2. Is this happening on Windows or OSX?
    I am working on windows. My CPU if it matters: Intel(R) Core ™ i7-9759H CPU @ 2.60GHz
  3. Are you on a laptop?
    Yes.
  4. Do you have multiple displays connected?
    Yes, 1 monitor attached ( ASUS VG245H 24 inchFull HD 1080p).
  5. What is your display resolution set to for each display?
Laptop Resolution

Monitor resolution

  1. Do you have any display scaling applied (on Windows, type “scale” into windows search bar, go into
    settings to verify what percentage scale is)?
Display settings

Other things to take into note:

  • This is a large game with models and script in it. Not in a clean baseplate.
  • Team create is on.

well…it actually happened to me in a 100% clean baseplate that I just created. I am unable to move the UI with my mouse and got also the UI going crazy when my mouse entered the window.

I have been having this same issue on multiple games with this error popping up constantly.

This has been very impactful on my experience and it needs to be fixed. It’s difficult to edit UI with it like this!
I never use the built-in UI editor and because of this, I am upset that you cannot disable it.

Edit: Just to help in case it’s needed, I will answer the questions (skipping #1 for obvious reasons)

  1. Is this happening on Windows or OSX?
    I am using Windows 10 Home
  2. Are you on a laptop?
    Yes, I am currently on a laptop
  3. Do you have multiple displays connected?
    I currently do. My laptop screen as my main and my TV as a second monitor
  4. What is your display resolution set to for each display?
    Laptop Screen: 1920x1080 at 100% scale
    TV (2nd monitor): 1920x1080 at 100% scale
  5. Do you have any display scaling applied (on Windows, type “scale” into windows search bar, go into settings to verify what percentage scale is)?
    I currently do not as it’s set to 100% for everything

Set your SignalBehavior = "Default" in the Workspace. If you are using the "Deferred" option, this problem happens. It worked for me for this exact problem.

I believe I already let @InceptionTime know of this issue, so thankfully it should be filed.

The bug occurs usually when you insert a new UI element, including constraints.

Check if your UI is in a folder, you have to move it out of it if you want to move it.

They are not in a folder at all. They are in just a ScreenGui object. I even still get this issue, but not as frequent anymore

Just moving an object in the workspace and clicking on something like a TextButton in the explorer is enough to cause this issue. The only way I’ve gotten around this is to remove the plugin from Studio entirely.

Bumping this because it still happens and it ruined half of my UI because when it is invisible it moves with my mouse without me even knowing and this is really annoying.

Hi, is this issue still happening for anyone? I wasn’t able to repro on the latest version of Studio (v609).

Thanks for the follow up. I have not encountered this issue since, and I am using the latest version of studio!

Issue is still happening for me. If I even save the studio, leave and come back; all of my UIs get deleted.

Edit: It works now. What you’ll need to do is is search Roblox Studio in the Windows searchbar and uninstall it. Once it is uninstalled, you’ll need to do WINDOWS (KEY) + R, search for “%localappdata%”, find the “Roblox” folder and delete the “Roblox Studio” folder from your computer (Clear the recycle bin as well on your computer). Then re-install Studio https://create.roblox.com/ from there.

No, but there IS another UI issue i’ve recently encountered.

issue is still happening for me, although it should be noted i am using the Roblox Studio Mod Manager Bootstrapper.

OK thanks for the report, it looks like the dragging cursors don’t appear in your video.
Does this behavior occur 100% of the time for you? Or after doing any specific actions?

this bug is not consistent every time i open studio no, it only seems to happen sometimes.
i am not sure of how to replicate it, if i find out i’ll be sure to @ you in this thread.

i’ve just encountered the same issue after long term script development in another place.

as seen in the video above, once this bug occurs it will not go away until roblox studio is fully closed.
i discovered that i had the bug around 2 minutes after opening my ui test place.

this doesn’t tell you the exact source of the issue, but hopefully i’m able to provide enough information in order to help resolve it.

I’m dealing with this right now. As of all of my attempts, it is occurring 100% of the time consistently.

Thanks for the info, I think this produces a reliable repro for me (closing a place via the 3D view “x” and reopening a new place in the same window).

Also it appears this bug is a duplicate of this one: Mouse cursor acting weird when play-testing in Roblox studio
which should be fixed in next week’s release.
