Moving any window around with the new docking update causes Studio to indefinitely lag

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

System Info:

  • Intel Core i5-10400F
  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
  • Running Windows 11

Steps to reproduce:

  • Make sure that your studio instance is running the new Docking update version. I also tested this with a freshly reinstalled Roblox Studio on my PC.
  • Move any part of studio out of where it’s currently docked to a floating window or dock it elsewhere

Expected Behavior

Studio will not lag when moving anything around and will not lag even if you completely shut down studio and reopen it.

Actual Behavior

Studio starts to stutter and lag, even when you close and reopen studio. Restarting the PC doesn’t seem to help it either.

Workaround

Reinstall studio and do not touch any of the docked windows.

Hey, I would love to provide a screen recording for you but it looks like the update got reverted for me just now. I will follow up with a video when I get the update again.

Great! Please let us know if you face this again. Are you on MacOS? We are aware of lag issues on MacOS caused by specific hardware.

No I’m not on MacOS. I am using Windows 11 and specs are in the main post.

I don’t know if this is expected behaviour but generally when running a test game inside studio, if you click a script log in the console it will take you to the script but will lag a lot.

I believe this issue is the same as @ItsKoiske mentioned

This has happened to me since the very first update of the roblox studio UI

Hey! I got the new studio update and it is still incredibly laggy for me and it happened as soon as I undock anything.

Here is a video of the aftermath where you can see at one point it getting much worse. The video unfortunately doesn’t show how choppy things really are. I suggest looking at the mouse where you can see that due to input lag I have a hard time hovering over the docking menu. This is tested on a fresh install of studio too.

Thanks, let’s talk on DM. This appears to be something specific to you.

I think you have a much bigger problem on your hands than you realize.
(Did you change everything to SVGs causing a 10x resource use or something??)
After updating Studio, all of my docked window settings were lost, then after finally getting things back to
normal in terms of the docked windows, which was laggy BTW, I started to edit code:
On a machine that I’ve been using Studio on just fine until now, is now UNUSABLE
Type some text in the editor–In a few seconds to a few minutes, text will appear.
Studio Version: 0.543.395.5430593 (64bit)

Studio updated once again and the issue no longer occurs. Thank you for your time, ElephantMesh!

What is the version of the update you got?

Do you know if it’s going to general release?
