On mobile, after opening the developer console (by typing “/console”) in the chat, UserInputService.MouseEnabled gets permanently set to True.
It does not return to False even after resetting the character.
Happens in live games.

Expected behavior

UserInputService.MouseEnabled should not be affected by viewing the console.

We’re having some trouble trying to reproduce this. Are you still seeing this issue? If so what devices are you seeing this occur on?

This is still happening. It happens on Android, Galaxy S20.
Here’s a script to view the consequences in-game:

wait(1)
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = screenGui
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 100, 0, 100)
frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)
frame.Visible = true

while true do
	
	if userInputService.MouseEnabled then
		frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0.7, 0)
	else
		frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.3, 0)
	end
	
	wait(0.5)
end

Put this in PlayerScripts. It makes a GUI turn green when mouse is enabled, and it turns red when mouse is disabled.

Open the chat and type /console, and it turns green forever.

After investigating, we discovered the root of this issue was device specific and we will not be prioritizing a mitigation for this particular device. Thank you for reporting this issue and your understanding.
