Godot's pop-ups make the engine crash.

Frodev

Hello there people, as I am in the process of learning godot I ran into a very very annoying bug.
So any time a pop-up appears like I created a CollisionShape2D and then it asks me to save it somewhere after I set its shape, now after the pop-up appears and I select confirm or cancel, the game engine just freezes. This is the third time in the last 5 minutes it has done it and I have no idea how to well fix it.
I also can not shut the engine and the only way for me to get it to close was to restart my computer as a whole.

In the output luckily I do get an error:
platform/windows/display_server_windows.cpp:1310 - condition "!windows.has(p_window)" is true. Returning: -1

So if anyone by chance knows how to fix this that'd be great! Cause I was really looking forward to coding today.
Anyhow cheers!

Ok I found out how to replicate it. After creating a scene if you dont save it and then you click outside of the engine the pop-up appears. after selecting whatever it crashes.

So yup

I've never seen this problem.

Can you post a screenshot of the pop-up?

And state your full Godot version. (Example: 4.2.1-stable)

Frodev

DaveTheCoder
The version I am using is indeed 4.2.1,
So I have figured out the problem not being the pop up but this,
After creating a new scene and putting what seems to be any node inside of said scene and then clicking outside of the window (the window meaning outside of the game engine itself, for instance into my browser or whatever), a pop-up appears telling me to well save the scene to somewhere in the game files or whatever, if I select cancel or confirm, the whole engine just freezes.

Not sure why it occurs but well it does.
So yeah those are my findings

If I add a node to a scene, and then click the editor's close box, I get a popup dialog with three buttons: Don't Save, Cancel, and Save & Close. If I then click outside of the editor, causing the Godot editor to be hidden, and then click the Godot icon in the task bar, sometimes the main editor window appears, with the popup dialog hidden.

In that situation, the editor window appears to be frozen. I have to Alt-Tab to get the popup dialog so that I can click one of the buttons. Then the editor window behaves normally.

That's happens with other apps that can have modal popup windows.

That's the closest that I can get to the problem you described.

Ok so I have tried it now and sadly it doesnt work. After presing alt-tab it doesnt un-freeze.
Thank you though

DaveTheCoder

Do you have another way of cycling through application windows, to see if the popup dialog is hidden? That varies among operating systems and desktop environments.

Frodev

DaveTheCoder
Ok so what you said originally does allow me to look at the popup, and no its not hidden, but after the popup is closed thats when it crashes.
So yes what you said originally does allow me to go through the different windows.

DaveTheCoder

Can you provide a detailed, step-by-step procedure to replicate this problem, starting with the creation of a new project? If so, you should report it as a bug.

Well to start from the beginning.

I create a project with Forward+ or Mobile render (I didnt try the other one), I give it a name, create a folder, I so far havent ever changed the path so it just goes to documents.
My Version Control Metadata is Git.
And then well I create the project, then if I create a new scene and click outside of godot, e. g. into my browser, it will ask me to save the scene, after I save or or cancel to save it, godot freezes.
And thats the whole process I go through, now do know that when I click into another window, like my browser, my browser is on another display (monitor screen). I dont know if this makes a difference but yup.

DaveTheCoder

Did you submit an issue?

Frodev create the project, then if I create a new scene

You'll need more details. If two people follow your steps, they should obtain exactly the same result.

Don't post the steps here. Place them in the submitted issue, and post the link here.

Did you turn on "Save on Focus Loss" in editor settings?
I don't get any window asking me to save when clicking outside Godot.

When I turn this option on and click outside of Godot the window asking to save the scene appears.
If save or cancel Godot freezes.

~~If I instead click again somewhere outside of Godot, the save window disappears and I can't get it back. Godot freezes.~~ (Can't reproduce this).

Have to shut down Godot via task manager.

EDIT:
Just saw this is a known issue: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/89733
