Is there a better solution for most of us out there who only have one monitor?

Extremely frustrating for me on this one. Everything on my MacBook Pro loads quick besides Studio. My user interface workflow has really been effected due to this. When opening Roblox Studio, it takes minutes to load. When you want to edit a game, it takes multiple minutes to load. Copy and pasting UI properties and elements takes a few seconds to paste (it freezes), and when I go into Play mode in Studio, it takes a few minutes to load as well, this includes exiting the Play mode.

Those things also happen to me. Now I have to publish the game and play it from the website just to test a game and inserting, moving, or removing a ScreenGui will freeze my screen for a while, even longer when in Team Create. There’s also this weird thing where if I open a prompt like game settings, it brings itself over any other application while frozen, blocking my screen. And when I open studio to a update prompt, when I click “Retry” it just keeps coming back, then I’ll have to drag it to the side of my screen where it doesn’t interfere with anything.
Yeah, same. Extremely frustrating, I have to test my ER:LC UI by publishing the game now. I tried to Studio Play with my Mad City UI and that took more than 5 minutes to load. Legit one UI with a baseplate. No scripts at all. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, it has really hindered my progress.

Progress seems to be slow. We can only sit here and wait. We should just hope that it gets fixed at some point.

Update on a fix:
My friend @NewVoids has helped me fix this so I’ll explain, pretty much there is a corrupt studio setting, so when you remove all your preferences, next time you open studio, it’ll fix the preferences and fix your corrupt files.
If you uninstall, its just going to save your preferences so uninstalling wouldn’t do any good.
open terminal
type cd ~/Library/Preferences
then rm -rf com.roblox*
with roblox studio closed

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! Thanks, I’ve been waiting for a long time for a solution. I’ll just hope that it doesn’t go laggy again and that other people find this solution, though I’ve never thought it’d be something solved with the terminal. I did also have some suspicion that it was because of file corruptions so I tried cleaning my autosaves and plugins but that didn’t work.

You’re an absolute genius! Thanks so much! Roblox just needs to fix the issue themselves now.

idk, I guess you’d have to move your windows around to make room for the script window while it still maintains independence of the main window. Truthfully though, I’ve only seen this on my iMac; I don’t have this problem on my MacPro.
I would suggest that it’s a GPU/Hardware issue, but Studio has worked fine on this iMac in the past. I suspect it has something to do with how the script window is sharing the same space as the game viewer window. Maybe the game viewer isn’t relinquishing control entirely of that area or is competing with it somehow? Who knows. Still a mystery, just updated studio today with the update and it still happens. Glad to have a solution, but would like it to not be an issue at all!

I tried this method now for a second time. Unfortunately, the cursor still lags behind in the script window when the script window is a tab in the Main Window. Maybe we’re seeing a different issue, I guess.

Why does the problem not occur in Windows then?
It could be due to a hardware difference.

Roblox studio building and scripting is super hard for me but luckily i have a windows computer.
I think it may be because of data from studio??? idk maybe like to much data because if i make a new account it is great for 6 months then the data (probably) overfills and it gets laggy again. idk its just a theory.

That sentence makes no sense:
Are you stating that your bad at using studio, or that it doesn’t work well?

Probably the latter? I don’t see why somebody would randomly say that they’re bad at using Roblox Studio.
