"Stop" Button Breaking Forever When Playtesting

When I start a playtest using F5 and quickly cancel it with Shift + F5 (usually because I need to fix something, e.g. a typo last second), the Stop button in Roblox Studio sometimes breaks and becomes unresponsive. I then have to restart the entire studio. This tends to happen more often when I’m really fast, especially if I’m using mouse buttons mapped to those shortcuts:

It doesn’t happen every time, but it’s frustrating when it does.

How to Replicate:

  1. Start a playtest with F5.
  2. Quickly cancel it by spamming Shift + F5 right after starting the playtest (for easier testing, map it to a mouse button or a keyboard key).

Here’s a video showing what happens:

Expected behavior

The stop button should not break.
