Studio freezes indefinitely when filtering explorer during breakpoint pause

Description:

Roblox Studio client freezes when using the Explorer window search bar while breakpoint debugging.
This issue occurred after a recent Studio update and is reproducible with a 100% chance success rate.
Last time I noticed searching in Explorer during breakpoint debugging working, is May 25th.

Guide to the issue

Setup:

  • Launch a new place to test this on (Any template works from my testing, i.e. baseplate)
  • Insert a script into ServerScriptService
  • Add a breakpoint to a line of your script that contains code

Steps:

  1. Press Play (F5)
  2. Wait for Studio to pause the game on your set breakpoint
  3. Use the search bar in the Explorer window (Ctrl + Shift + x)

After setup and following the steps, your Studio client should now be non-responsive.
