Problem

Ever since the update last night, I’ve noticed that the default chat icon on the new CoreGui UI does not get removed when starterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false) is executed from a script in game.ReplicatedFirst. This is happening in both Studio and the live game. The Roblox chat interface itself is removed though. This JUST started happening.

As for plugins, I have a bunch that are installed, but very few are enabled. The ones that are enabled are listed below with links to their details page on the Roblox store website:


Expectations

What I expect to happen is that when the aforementioned statement is executed, all aspects of the default Roblox chat are removed.

It seems to work fine for me.

local starterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
starterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false)

Nope, nvm, after a few tests, it seems to hide the chat icon sometimes and not sometimes but the chat interface is indeed always removed.

But, local starterGui = game:WaitForChild("StarterGui") seems to work but it is not the standard way of accessing StarterGui.
