Second editor freezes when two projects are open

Bugs
#1

Description
When I have two Defold projects open the second always freezes. Using an Apple M1 Max running macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 if I have two projects open and try to go back an forth between the two the second project that I open will freeze up after an unspecified amount of time. The second project always gets the spinning beach ball of death and I use Force Quit from the dock to exit the second editor instance.

To Reproduce
Open two separate projects and within each project open multiple files. Switch back and forth between the two projects. Eventually the second will freeze and give the spinning beachball icon.

Expected behavior
I expect to go to and fro between the two projects, browse files, and even copy and paste code (text) between the two project

Just noticing now and I’m sure it was updated weeks or months ago but big thanks. So much nicer to have a multiple projects open and go back and forth between them. Apologies for not acknowledging sooner. I appreciate all the work the Defold team puts in.

What worked for me was just using one project at a time and closing the other one completely. It’s a pain, but until they fix the bug, it’s the only way I’ve found to avoid the freezing.
