PluginGui Scrollbar and TextBox bug (lua widgets)

PluginGui’s have opened lots of opportunities for cool new plugins but 2 specific bugs have been annoying me for quite a long time.The bugs are located current version of Roblox Studio.

Scrollbar bug
  • When dragging a scrollbar from a PluginGui, if the mouse leaves the bounds of the UI, the scrollbar will
    stop moving, unlike the behavior of scrollbars in other in-built widgets.

Current Behaviour:

Text bug?
  • This bug could sort of be classified as a feature request however, I don’t believe this behavior should be normal. When hovering your mouse over a TextBox, your mouse stays the same as your default system mouse. This has been bugging me for a while.

Current Behaviour:

Along this, text highlighting should also be possible to replicate normal TextBoxes in other widgets.

Both bugs have been here since the introduction of lua widgets.

Unless the bugs are closesly related, I’d recommend you put them in different topics.
The text box issue isn’t closely related to the scroll bar issue (they don’t effect each other and don’t have the same cause probably).

As for the scroll bar issue…

What do you mean by ‘other in-built widgets’?Wouldn’t it be an issue specifically with your widget and not the entire system if this was so?

Or do you mean custom widgets (plugins) don’t work the same as the default widgets (i.e. explorer).

No, for example, the property window/widget if you want to call it that allows it’s scrollbar to be used while the mouse is not in bounds. The reason I included the TextBox bug is because it is also PluginGui related and it isn’t the same behavior as widgets such as the explorer.

Example of intended behavior for the scrollbar:

Right so to summarise:

  • TextBoxes in plugin widgets do not work like they do in the Roblox engine in terms of the cursor changing.

  • The scrolling bars of plugin widgets do not work like they do in the rest of the Roblox as they don’t scroll when the mouse moves out of the widget’s window

Correct, I am more concerned for the scrollbar bug than the TextBox one.

The aim for PluginGui was to fit in with the rest of Roblox Studio UI, having these fixed would finalize that, plus it gets pretty annoying when trying to scroll, then it randomly stopping and having to move my mouse back inwards.
