Studio Intellisense Bug - crashes Studio

  1. What issue are you having? Describe what is happening when the bug occurs. Describe what you would normally expect to occur. If you have 17 objects or more with the same name, for example 17 Parts all with the same name “y”, then you type “workspace.y” in command bar is crashes Studio.

  2. Does the bug happen 100% of the time? Yes. 17 is 100% crash, however if the Parts name was “Part” then it only takes 16 or more. Reason why is there is also the “Parent” Property, so its like 17 objects that start with “Pa”.

  3. If so, are there steps that reproduce the bug? Please list them in very high detail. Create new place, insert 17 or more Parts, then type “workspace.pa” in the command bar. it doesn crash if you only type “workspace.p” and some reason needs the “pa” to crash it. however if the object was called “Y” it only took “workspace.y” to crash it.

  4. Where does the bug happen (www, gametest, etc) Regular Studio

  5. Is it level-specific? No

  6. Would a screenshot or video help describe it to someone? If so, post one.

  7. For graphics bugs, it is sometimes helpful to know your system specs, especially graphics card.

  8. When did the bug start happening? If we can tie it to a specific release that helps us figure out what we broke. not sure just noticed it when trying to help a friend with his game.

  9. Anything else that you would want to know about the bug if it were your job to find and fix it. I think this is enough to figure out whats causing it.

It not that crucial of a bug, just it could be a nuisance if you don’t save often. But then again what would you be doing with command bar trying to pinpoint a certain object when there is 17 of them and with same name, maybe you have a PartMain inside a model with 17 other Parts and were trying to reach PartMain, idk.

This seems to be an issue apparent only in OSX. Tried it with Windows 8.1 and no issues here.

Yeah, no problem here on Windows 7.

Can we just slap this somewhere on the Roblox Wiki?

OSX [deprecated]

I only tested about 10 instances with the same name. I’m a failure :frowning:

This doesn’t happen for me (I’m on Windows 7). However, I do find that when in Play Solo (launched in the same window) Intellisense has a nasty habit of bugging out and crashing my studio (“an unexpected error has occurred” I think… but I’m not 100% sure. It might actually just freeze, I rage too hard when this happens to remember what it says). I would have posted here before, but I’ve found no cause of it and no way to replicate it. So on that note, will you be offering us an option to disable Intellisense? I’ve tried searching the Studio Options, but either I’m blind or something like that isn’t there.
