Unable to visually select and move internal elements in Frame

Reproduction Steps

  1. Open this project: Baseplate.rbxl (36.8 KB)
  2. Try to select and move any text inside the frame, by directly clicking on it

Expected Behavior
The text should be directly selected by the mouse.

Think about Photoshop ‘layers’. There, I can visually select any element if “Auto-Select” layer option is enabled:

Actual Behavior
Studio is ignoring the text and it’s selecting the frame.

Also, changing Zindex for Frames F1 as 1, F2 as 2, F3 as 3, and FA.TextLabel as 4 and even changing all frames transparencies, I still can’t select the TexLabel directly.

Workaround
Only by editing the Size and Position properties manually by trial and error, until you get the desired result.

Issue Area: Studio
Issue Type: Other
Impact: Moderate
Frequency: Constantly

Thanks for the report! We’ve filed a ticket to our internal database and we’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

After almost 2 years, that won’t change.
Since I got a workaround by making the UI Editor button available, I’ll close this topic.
