Roblox Studio closes the watch tab everytime I add a variable to the watch list via right-click

My issue is as the title describes,

I have turned off all beta features, reinstalled the program, cleared the appdata and configs. No matter what I do the watch tab in Studio closes when I add something to it and opens again when I add something to it (like it is toggling). This started happening after Roblox “upgraded” my studio (apparently I had beta features enable automatically - oof). The beta version of Studio was so busted I just turned all the features off all beta feautres now this bug with the watch tab toggling everytime I add anything to it via right click.

Any ideas of how to fix it?

We’ll need more information here:

  • what platform?
  • what screen configuration/hw?
  • how/where you’re docking the window (floating, docked, docked with tabbed, pinned, etc)
  • when are you adding the watches? Do you do this during debug time, edit time, does it matter?
  • can you manually bring the window back after it goes away,?
  • after adding the watch, does it “stick”? i.e. is it there?

I don’t believe there’s any betas currently going on with debugging tools, so turning on/off betas shouldn’t make a difference here.

I didn’t think having the betas on/off should make a difference either, but that’s what happened. I turned off the betas and then this started happening with the watch. It wasn’t happening before it.

Note: when I add an entry manually by typing it in it does not toggle the window.

platform: PC, Roblox Studio, all betas disabled currently.

screen configuration: dual-screen, horizontal

docking: I tried it pinned, tried it floating, tried it sliding. It made no difference.

add time: tried it both in and out of runtime it toggles either way.

manually opening: I can bring it back if I manually open it from the view selection or any other way that opens it. It also opens again if I add another watch after adding one that makes it disappear. This continues to happen regardless of how many times I add a watch. Deleting a/all watch expressions does not make the window toggle.

stick: it stays after its added when reopening the tab.

extra information: I tried deleting the appdata, tried deleting the local cache in documents, tried reinstalling studio. Nothing seems to change it and I’m stumped as to why. I tried asking the AI for help too but it tried to send me to menus that didn’t exist or values that either don’t exist/I can’t access.
