Is there a studio setting to disable the temporary tabs feature? I can’t seem to find one. I really dislike the feature as it’s very intrusive and annoying.
Yes that would be a start. However I really don’t see a need for this feature to begin with. I don’t even have a 1080p display and I never find myself overwhelmed with the number of scripts I have open.

Are there any plans to highlight magic characters and escape sequences?
An example I just found in my code is
versus
This is a simple example, but I think it would make complex string matching easier to understand at a glance.

I second this. Along with string escapes like \n and \u{1337}.

I like the new syntax highlighting, but I find Temporary Tab annoying because everytime you select a script, the temporary tab opens and I have to close it to continue on what I’m doing. Can you make the temporary tab disabled by default?
Apologize for my bad english.
I guess I’m in the minority but the temporary tabs are more comfortable for me since other editors I’ve used in the past share this same/similar behavior. Please leave it in as a setting if removing it is being considered.

I am not sure why but when using dark theme, I can’t get any of the same presets as shown in the pictures (with the beta enabled). Some of them are similar, but then random things are green or completely different. I tried all the color presets, am I looking in the wrong place? I was trying to use the 1st dark theme preset.
Edit: Even the light theme is messed up compared to the photos, does anyone have the color values of the presets in the picture I can use to change it manually?
Others have stated their feelings on Temporary Tabs already but I wanted to add my biggest complaint with them:
I am unable to click on a script and then press ctrl+C to copy it, because clicking it opens it and then I am copying no selection from the source not the object in the DataModel. This slows my workflow and makes it feel significantly more cluncky.
I like the idea of temporary tabs, but not the execution and I wish I had more solutions to pose on how I thought it could be fixed.
I am so happy that this update is finally in beta! I have been waiting so long for this!! Super excited to see the super cool color themes that come out of this. Now the hard part will be finding a good color theme. Anyway, this update is just phenomenal; keep up the good work Roblox! 
I like the highlighting however, I am having the same issue as @TecmagDiams where the Temporary Tabs are more of a hassle than an improvement. I don’t think single-clicking a script should open it. It’s slowing down my workflow - unsure about others.

Hi @darkmodeonn,
I think this new beta features are great ! I just have a quick question : How do change the theme ?
hello i am using the current script editor update right now and an issue i have is that the “default” preset is wrong i think because its all black 
like, the original one when i turn off script editor option in beta features list it goes back to original
so i think that the “defualy” option in the studio setting here should also be equal to the one it was originaly before the update, becaus i dont want to redo all the colors, please fix. i think it should be a easy fix for u guys caus all u guys have to do is change colors for me
i dont wana reset all settings cos then i will have to set all my other settings and i dont want that because i already have specific settings

I’m having the same problem as you are.
The ability to disable the temporary tabs is a real 10/10 from me, thank you, very cool.
Also, bracket coloring is also Very Cool. Any chance we could see the logical operators (and, or, and not) either get their own coloring or be highlighted as operators? They’re highlighted as keywords right now, which is technically correct, but a bunch of themes highlight word operators (in as few languages as they occur) the same as normal ones, so it’s worth considering.

Not quite sure if you already got your problem solved, but you can disable them by following these steps:
Studio Settings > Studio > Script Editor > Enable Temporary Script Tabs

I am having a similar issue, but it is a bright green rather than black.

Scrolling through tabs is very slow now. It takes ~ half a second to switch script tabs and when I quickly scroll my mouse wheel to get to the viewport tab it will only scroll one tab at a time, this is very annoying UX
