Appearance will not open when clicking the dropdown button
What I tried so far:
Restarting Studio
Restarting my PC
Resetting Studio Settings
Neither of these have fixed the issue.
Expected behavior
The appearance dropdown should open upon clicking.

It appears as if the first dropdown of each properties menu is now locked, if you previously had it open, it now is locked open and unfortunately in your case, if you previously had it closed, it is now locked to be closed. This appears to be a recent regression in behaviour.

To temporarily fix the issue, I’m sure you can try this:
If anyone here is still having issues, delete the registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Roblox\RobloxStudio\LayoutSettings in regedit. This will reset your studio layout and will most likely fix the problem.
Edit: If you are having another issue that is not fixed after deleting this key, try deleting the higher up RobloxStudio key.

I just tried this and it did not work, I really hope this is fixed soon. This bug is horrible.

It appears it works if you tap on the right side of the appearance dropdown, the part without the text or the arrow, and if you double click it it’ll open/close.
This seems to be an issue with the text/arrow overlaying the interaction button in studio for the appearance dropdown, causing it not to open when clicking over that.

Hi, can confirm we’re seeing this on our end and are looking for a solution. Double clicking in the middle of the bar is the short term workaround for this - can anyone experiencing the issue _not _ get the section open/close by doing this?

While we are fixing this, the workaround is to click to the right of the “Appearance” header (the area marked purple on the screenshot)

More accurately, there’s an object in the corner that’s blocking mouse input:

I am not sure if you’re still facing this problem but you can fix this by double clicking the appearance bar and not clicking on the arrow.
That should fix your problem hope it helped

This issue is the same bug from this thread:
Summary
There seems to have been a new Roblox Studio update that adds a “Tag” section to the Properties menu. This may have been the cause of a new minor bug where I cannot click a specific area of the menu (see video).
Reproduction Steps
Open Properties
Select an instance
Click on top left area of menu
Expected Result
Click should be registered
Actual Result
Nothing happens
Video
As i’ve replied there, the fix will be released in January!
can someone please explain
well, this was fixed a long time ago, whoever bumped this, i thought it was new, but wth is this?
