Hi! Thank you for this report! We believe we’ve fixed this bug here, in this thread. Let me know if anything is broken!

Hi all, this should be fixed now in any new Studio instances! Just relaunch studio and let me know! Thank you for your report here! This was a long standing issue and it took a lot of effort to get a consistent repo! We couldn’t have done this without the community. In the effort of respecting the community more, shoutout to @unroot, @Zomebody, and @Dogekidd2012, and many others who kept on answering questions until I figured out what was wrong.

Just relaunch Studio and we’ll be good to go!
