Can confirm that this is still happening to me, and it’s been TWO WHOLE MONTHS and it still hasn’t been resolved. Hopefully a fix will come out soon.
Edit: Will try the HKEY method later, and will re-edit if it works or not.

This is another docking bug, I’ve refreshed studio MANY times even with task manager, yet no luck.
Sometimes it loads up without the baseplate even rendering and it’s just the default blank color, closing these tabs also causes the docking to glitch out as seen below.
As a developer of a fairly active community game, this is more than frustrating as it’s halting my already limited development time.
Any feedback or potential fix would be appreciated.
God Damn It. Well, i am currently having the same ISSUE, and the only thing that made it 1%+ better was minimizing it and then fullscreening it;
im still having problems on this…

I had this issue just now after attempting to use the “test” tab of the ribbon to run client and server. This feature should probably have been culled since we can multiplex the client and server into the same display. Anyway, I wanted to check both looked the same and it came up in historical literature.
It produced two, new, Roblox Studio windows; 1 client, 1 server. One of these had the undocked game preview which led me to this post and was best shown in this image from InfinityIt on Sep 22nd:
I had lost control of that “sideshow”, corollary, window in the background. I couldn’t dock it or move it. I had this problem last night too, the daily reboot didn’t solve it.
SubtotalAnt8185 did solve it with:
Try deleting
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Roblox\RobloxStudiofrom the registry. It worked for me with a problem with the old UI
I was seriously regretting life choices and thinking I screwed my server side code up somehow. I wasted a few hours reviewing the basics of client server as if it was something novel.

Yea, tysm dev roblox, useful function.
this just made it worse for me, this studio bug has got to be one of the worst and even after months they have still done absolutely nothing. not even a comment on the situation, its laughable at how horribly this has been handled
after deleting registry key and re installing roblox studio its fixed

Never had this issue before until just now when i opened roblox studio. Not even 2 days ago it was working completely fine for me yet now it is completely broken.
Edit: Should’ve done this before i made the reply but deleting the registry key worked for me. All i did was close studio, delete the registry key and open roblox studio again. This fixed the issue for me.

Three months later and this is still proving to be a MAJOR issue. It was working fine for like the past week and now it keeps happening. The only way to fix this is to literally completely close out of Studio and reboot it. This also can break if you can Studio open on your non-dominant monitor.
Please just fix this already. I’m tired of having to open and close Studio every five minutes…

This has actually gotten worse since yesterday, now anytime I type in a script it pops out every single tab forcing me to restart. This is making development nearly impossible to do now. I do not understand how such a critical issue still cannot be fixed. I don’t know what to do besides twiddle my thumbs and hope for the best. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.

Update: If you are lucky enough, you will get a popup that says this:
Upon restarting, you will have to rearrange your docking layout to fit your needs, but the problem will be permanently fixed. It seems as if Roblox is slowly rolling out this fix to everyone.
I still can’t believe they haven’t reverted this layout crap. This is constantly making studio unusable for a huge number of people, I can no longer open a second window, and I have to constantly restart studio to “fix” this, only for it to crop up everytime. Testing multiple clients is impossible

This problem is so anoying! I can’t test my systems because i can’t open the local server test with 2 clients because all the windows are so bugged! =x
For those of us who are not as lucky as this guy, if you quickly take your Studio tab out of full-screen mode when you are loading a place, it will fix the issue temporarily. Now after a little while it may bug out again, but this is at least a fix for when Studio is opening/testing on a local server.
I was able to do it fast enough for one client but not the other:
Love that this is not fixed yet

The viewport window has separated from the studio tab, so I closed the window so it DELETED the viewport.
It’s absolutely hilarious now that I find that I print out the viewport size and it returns 1, 1
ive tried everything nothing works my question is how does roblox let this bug just be a bug its been a problem for a little bit now and ive kept my mouth closed but now its just getting out of hand i mean cmon now roblox
Day 95… Slowly starting to lose my sanity more and more each time Studio incorrectly docs a tab. Still wondering if there is hope left for this critical bug to be fixed. I can no longer run Local Server Test Sessions anymore due to this. I am trying to do bug fixing on my own but it appears there is another bug in the way causing me to not figure out what is breaking it.
For real though, this needs to be fixed ASAP. It has gotten to the point where I can no longer do my work properly. Apparently, 1/4th of a year isn’t long enough for a critical bug to be fixed.
Local Server Test Sessions:
When you test on a local server with 2+ clients, it works perfectly fine the first time. Try any other time after that and everything breaks. This makes finding bugs in multiplayer games in Studio impossible to find/fix/diagnose.
Please please please fix this.
