Studio silently fails to create a plugin widget when guid contains a space

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

Call plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui with a guid string that contains a space. For example, save this script as a plugin and run it:

local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Mechanism Inspector")

local showButton = toolbar:CreateButton("Show", "Show", "rbxassetid://4458901886")
showButton.ClickableWhenViewportHidden = true

local function clicked()
	print("clicked")
	local widgetInfo = DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(
		Enum.InitialDockState.Right,  -- Widget will be initialized in floating panel
		true,   -- Widget will be initially enabled
		false,  -- Don't override the previous enabled state
		200,    -- Default width of the floating window
		300,    -- Default height of the floating window
		150,    -- Minimum width of the floating window
		150     -- Minimum height of the floating window
	)
	local widget = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui("Mechanism Inspector", widgetInfo) -- Silently fails to create a widget
	widget.Title = "Mechanism Inspector"
	
	Instance.new("Frame", widget)
	print("setup")
end
showButton.Click:Connect(clicked)

Expected Behavior

The widget should appear. Or, if guids with spaces are disallowed, the function call should throw an error. (I haven’t made a plugin in a long time so I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why the widget wasn’t showing up - I wasn’t sure if I was using the API correctly).

Actual Behavior

When the guid contains a space, the call to plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui appears to do nothing. No widget appears. No error is thrown. When I remove the space, using the guid “MechanismInspector”, the widget appears as expected.
