Expected Behavior
I expect to not be able to click Spatial Voice indicators that are behind GUIs.

Actual Behavior
I am able to click Spatial Voice indicators behind GUIs despite not being able to see them. This allows me to unintentionally mute myself and others.

Workaround
Place small invisible Parts behind your UI elements. These parts will block you from being able to click the Spatial Voice indicators.

GUI objects don’t block clicks by default. Have you set the Active propery to true on that frame?

Problem still occurs with the Frame set to active.

I’d also like to add that as much as unintentionally muting yourself is bad, unintentionally un-muting yourself is even worse, and both of these are possible while the player is interacting with a gui on top of the spatial voice indicator.

Another symptom of this bug is that the spatial voice toggle is actually capturing the input, so the problem is even worse with TextButtons, because you can’t click them in the spot where the spatial voice toggle is.
