Currently, as of 12/7/23, enabling the current widget dock beta (Docking Updates [Studio Beta]) results in unstable docking behavior. Widgets will often reset their positions when opening studio or running a play-solo test!
In the video below, observe how the “properties” widget keeps resetting itself despite me explicitly docking it to the left of the explorer.
Expected behavior
It is expected that widgets would not change their docking state on studio restart or playsolo runs.
You’ll know if you have new docking activated if the splitting options while dragging are fewer than all the crazy options you see in the current/old docking.
I was actually looking into this exact issue when I realized my Updated Docking functionality disappeared before my eyes. My hope is it’s related to the regression but I’ll get back to it once we verified the Beta Feature is back for everyone.
This often happens for any widget, rarely. For example, the tag editor randomly opens when opening a place, even when I have never opened it myself after since turning on the beta.
Also noticing Find/Replace All window opening on the bottom randomly when stopping a playtest. That’s just… studio.
