UI Disappears and reappears when clicked in the explorer

[Myzta]

Issues:
Currently I am experiencing a rendering bug where my UI element doesn’t render until I click on it in the explorer. I cannot seem to create a simple repro, it only happens in this environment for me. I hope that sharing my game will be helpful. Sorry about the large place file…

System: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770

Repro

1. Turn on API services for datastore
2. Adopt a droplet
3. Click on your droplet
4. Click on the feed icon
5. Feed them
6. See that the eyes disappear from the top right image of your droplet
7. Go to Players[Your_Name].PlayerGui.MainMenu.Gems.TopContainer.Slot1.DropletSlot1.ViewportFrame
8. Click on the “Eyes” ui element
9. See that the eyes reappear.

Expected behavior

I expect to see the eyes loading in when I update the UI element.

I have the same issue, thought it related to scrolling frames only, but seems you don’t use one. I believe this isolates the root cause to being UIListLayout being the issue and not updating its contents appropriately.

Scrolling Frame not updating unless its properties are indexed or selected in explorer

I have a pre-made scrolling frame (visible is false initially), and I populate it with contents, such as frames, buttons etc. I make use of the automatic canvas size. When I playtest and make it visible via code and a button press, it consistently shows a blank scrolling frame, or a few pixels, and does not update to show my contents at all. I must then either index the scrolling frame directly via the command line, such as printing the CanvasSize, or going to the Explorer and selecting the scr…

A roblox staff has also dmed me for further info and a repro, so hopefully this will get a solution soon!

Hi - do you have the UIListLayout Flex beta enabled? We’re working on root causing this issue. Thanks!

[Myzta]

Yes I do have this feature enabled.

[Slim_Fandango]

Does disabling flex layouts resolve the issue for you?

[Myzta]

Yes, that seems to have resolved my issue!

[Slim_Fandango]

Ok great. Thanks for the info, this will help us solve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Myzta]

The issue is actually occuring again. I think it is inconsistent. Sorry about that.

Ok, that’s important for us to know. Thanks for sharing.
