Last week’s update brought the number of people affected down from 200 to around 20. I’m sorry to hear you are one of the unlucky few.
Yes, Windows 10.

This is a fullscreen screeshot :
Yeah we determined that this problem only happens in very specific versions of Windows 10… which is a part of the reason why it’s been so difficult to reproduce. But we want you to have your layout how you’d like so we’re going to keep looking at why this config seems to accelerate the problem.
I managed to reproduce it.
It happens when I open find/replace panel and I undock it!
I can type on it, but it won’t find anything and the app just hangs
Sorry to bump, but I can’t get my properties window to dock as of 6/10/2023. My OS if windows 10.
Seems like this bug when closing a place has been reintroduced since a recent update (maybe 3 or 4 days ago?)
Our tracking of the issue has gotten very accurate over the past month and our most recent releases have drastically reduced the number of affected creators. Unfortunately you are one of the very unlucky few that have just the right combination of factors (specific versions of Windows, combination of plugins, etc.)
The “good” news is that now we have much less people affected, we can take a closer look at the remaining cases and work on additional fixes. So thanks for reporting!
@MeshOfPaul I had my viewport brick on me last night. It went black & got detached from the main studio window, and previously closed widgets were rendering multiple times where the viewport was.
It happened as soon as I opened the animation editor, I will try to get a solid reproduction later today.
Thanks for letting us know. We’ve made great progress on reducing the number of people impacted and how often they see this but we know it is still possible to happen — in particular if you run a lot of plugins and use Windows 10 (certain builds of Win10 are more likely to corrupt than others). We have a plan for a permanent fix that the engineering team is talking through now. But in the meantime, we still suggest a layout Reset for a quick, temporary fix.
This excellent quick temporary fix only needs to be done 4 or 5 times a day. pretty embarrassing this has been happening now for nearly a year.
I agree it would be embarrassing if it were as simple as a bug we introduced or it was an error our code was creating. But that is not the case.
We have never stopped working on it. Both quick fixes and deep root cause analysis. Even though it only affects less than 0.01% of our active creators, we are working on some fundamental changes to how Studio docking and management works to prevent the condition(s) from happening. Thanks for being patient with us!
Hi all, just an update on docking corruption. We have drastically reduced the occurrences of this over the past few months, but we know there are still people affected by this daily. We have gathered a lot of data since the most recent changes and have a complete picture as to how this occurs and who it affects. At the current time we’re working to drive our instance count of this to 0 via a series of changes we’ll roll out in the coming weeks. There’s been a number of open threads on this from users experiencing this problem, and we’re consolidating them down to one to focus our messaging here. Please watch this thread for coming updates!
