What is that status on this? This is a huge bug and seems to be ignored.

I agree.

This is not being ignored. We are actively looking into it.

Studio team is very aware of this issue. We will do our best to fix this bug.

Try this:

  1. Go to System Preferences->Displays->Color (for the Built-In Retina Display)
  2. Change Display Profile to Generic RGB Profile
  3. Restart you computer

Is there a solution that doesn’t involve changing the color profile of my whole display? Props for figuring that out, I just like my system the way it is and would prefer to see a solution that works by default without having to change settings for my entire display.

Unparent the script editor from studio.

This doesn’t fix the problem for me

Are you by any chance using a 2016+ MBP?

Yes sir

@alexnewtron had this exact same issue although I don’t know how/if he solved it. I pinged him but he isn’t online atm so I’ll drop a mention here.

The only solutions for now are:

  1. Use a 1080p monitor. This issue seems to be related to the DPI of the Macbook Pro built-in retina display, or any monitor with a high enough DPI. So 1080p is recommended.

  2. Lower the scaling of your Built-in retina display. Under macOS Settings → Display → Resolution: Scaled
    This solution isn’t perfect though, and there is still some lag but not as much.

or 3. Change your Color Profile

Please see this thread:

unparenting works for me, thank you
at least it’s now usable
Still would be nice if ROBLOX actually fixed this…

This was a tough problem to solve and went through multiple rounds of discussion within the company. We finally think we fixed some issues by backporting a patch from Qt 5.9. This will be going out early next year.

The fix for this should be out. Please let us know in this thread (Known issue for Macbooks running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and higher) if you continue to have issues.

It appear to have remerged…
Script editor is super laggy again…

Oh no… :scream:

I will re-open the ticket internally.
