"Modern Studio" (new docking behavior) has various issues

My motivation has been ruined by all of this I just got back into roblox studio again but i load it up and it’s still broken, but it does seem like its not affecting many people since i cant find more then 3 forum post and i cant find a single youtube video about this. I found out whenever i would save my project it would comepletly break

There is another article on it here:

However, it is getting ridiculous at this point…

Please fix it. It is really irritating having to reload studio 5 times before it loads everything correctly.
Everything was fine before studio’s design refresh…

Try resetting your view with the keyboard shortcut “CTRL+P” then search “Reset View”. If this doesn’t work or you are unable to access the keyboard shortcut due to studio being unusable, please refer to this post:

Reset view nor deleting registry key in regedit resetted my view. It’s really annoying since I always had the explorer and properties underneath each other which is now all messed up and now they are into each other which is really annoying to work with as I have to switch every time. Is there any other way you know of?

Thanks.

Someone is currently working on a plugin that will look identical to the Roblox Studio explorer, you can probably use that once it’s released.

I could yeah but I just want this to be fixed. Why can’t we put 2 docks under each other anymore. That’s the entire point of docking… So that your entire screen isn’t filled

Issue is still occurring for me, only method to temporarily fix it is to restart studio however there is a chance the issue still persists.

The community shouldn’t be the ones to fix the mess that Roblox has made, and people shouldn’t have to use some obscure keybind to reset their studio data to fix it either. It should be up to Roblox to properly QA test changes like these. So many issues are apparent that it seems as if no testing was done at all.

When I test my game and want to see a script which has an error, it shows a random box. And this was before the update. Tbh, I don’t think Roblox cares about this unless something happens to their platform that makes them fix it because they have no other option.

Just depends when they get round to it I guess. In another bug report thread here they seemed to attempt at fixing it, but doesn’t seem like it did much, and then they just responded with the “just reset all of your studio settings with Ctrl + P and write this obscure command nobody has heard of and pray that it works because it’s only a temporary fix”

Allow me to bump this and rant with you all

I wish I saw this topic a month ago… I would’ve posted some whacky screenshots lol

I’ve only experienced this within the past month and it’s been horrible… I only get it when I open a 2nd studio session and none of the solutions work (permanently anyways…)

  • Disable plugins? nope
  • Reinstall studio? I’m not going through that hassle and it’s clear it doesn’t work for others
  • Keybind shortcut? nope
  • Drag the windows back in place? can’t even do that
  • Close and re-open a 2nd session? I wish but no… It’s literally EVERY second session I open… 99.99% fail rate
  • Reset layout? I can only get the option if I open the toolbox, close it, and break studio- but even then as everyone knows IT’S A ONE TIME TEMPORARY SOLUTION | Lemme exaggerate our pain: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

The 0.01% chance studio doesn’t break- It breaks when you stop testing and then you lose all that work you just did unless you copy and paste [while visibly blind] the workspace into a working session :neutral_face:

We’re in 2023 now and this still hasn’t been fixed… Honestly, is anyone even working on a fix?

Here’s a screenshot I saved [I would’ve saved more but it’s a very common thing… I’ll edit this and add more when I find some more whacky breaks]:

That’s been happening for a while | The only fix I found was using the Mod Manager :skull_and_crossbones:

I can just erratically resize one window or widget, and then simply wait and watch for one or more of my windows cause my Studio to lock up for a moment and undock after.

Also happens when I quickly press Stop after Play.

This is driving me insane that this problem has been going on for a while but Roblox has yet to fix it
I’m also having the same problem

For the love of god either revert this update or push a fix. It’s insanely annoying. It’s gotten to the point where studio is unusable because it keeps breaking every time you open something or try and test it.
