Let me start off by saying that Defold is one of the best game engines I have ever used. The Mac and Windows versions are superb. The Linux version would be just as superb if it weren’t for this issue I keep experiencing.
Quite frequently, after opening a lua script file, the UI freezes in the actual rendered area. I can still access the menu bar and build the projects, but I can’t click on any of the tabs displaying the files I’ve opened or open new files. It looks like I should be able to click things, but nothing responds. It also appears that there is no busy loading or infinite loop happening. It’s just as if the renderer of Defold has stopped drawing updates to the screen.
I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.
Edit: This seems to happen when going from the tilemap/collection viewer to a lua script (most commonly). I confirmed that the draw updates are not being displayed because I can still access the scroll bar on the Project Explorer and click it and drag it, even though the UI does not reflect the changes.
