The Roblox Studio Viewport has been actively disappearing and undocking itself. The behavior itself is relatively consistent on my part. This is a massive issue for me as I am not able to develop the content I am working on, and with a deadline, it is very worrying for me. This issue has just started occurring after the update that released today (timestamp provided in the footer).
Reproduction Steps
Open Studio, any place.
The viewport will not be shown, a grey or black screen will appear.
If the viewport is showing, playtest, open a script, and return to the main game viewport, step #2 should occur.
If you un-maximize Roblox, the actual viewport may be in the top-left corner, this isn’t always the case, though it may happen.
Expected Behavior
To not have the viewport pop-out or vanish completely.
Actual Behavior
The viewport pops out or vanishes, disabling capabilities to play-test or view in-game content.
Workaround
Restarting studio a multitude of times has a random chance of not breaking the viewport. However, this does workaround breaks after play-testing and editing scripts.

@kinglalu@EmmettFrowns@EasternBloxxer If it still doesn’t show up for you then open the quick open menu (CTRL + Alt + P) and type in “Reset View”, then press enter.
Alternatively, if that still doesn’t solve the issue (or quick open doesn’t show up for whatever reason) then open the registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Roblox\RobloxStudio and delete the LayoutSettings folder (or key)
