File > New while having a project open freezes the project

Reproduction Steps

I’m on Windows 10

  1. Open up a project
  2. On the project window, do File > New
  3. The new baseplate file is created in a new window, but the old window with your project freezes with a window saying “Loading place: Baseplate”. This window is permanent, and you have to force end the program.

This started happening recently.
I can recreate this issue 100% of the time. It does not matter what the original project file is, it is even occurring for me with an empty baseplate.

Expected Behavior

I expect the old behavior. Opening a new baseplate should not crash the window you opened it from.

If there’s a way to create a temporary place that I can use to test/setup stuff rather than having it create a new place on my roblox account, let me know. I’ve always used File > New, so I probably need to stop using it for temporary places.

Actual Behavior

The most annoying part about this bug is if you press “Cancel” on the window above, this happens:

If you try to wait it out, this happens (I got to attempt #15 before I forcibly ended studio):

The only way out of this is by forcibly ending the Roblox Studio window.

Workaround

I just have to be careful to not use File > New and open up a previous baseplate instead.

I’ve just put out a fix that I believe should resolve this. Please restart Studio and give it a try. If you or anyone else is still seeing this problem, let me know.
