Bug: UI won't update in spatial mode, when editing in Desktop

[FreakyChest]

I did find a way to fix it, at least at this moment but still thought I should mention it, for others if anyone else has issue.

- Horizon Worlds User Name: Freaky Chest 

- Device: Desktop Editor 

- Time/Date: 2025-06-05 to 2025-06-07 (constant issue for days)

- Description: UI would render once and then not update again. Happens with UI is in spatial mode but not with screen overlay. Toggling visibility did not help. It seemed that the old UI was shown over the previous one (only say this a few times, where I change like text size and I could see the update behind the old UI.

I tested using z-index and no more issues, even when I removed z-index issues have not came back.

In my case, I've noticed that it is impossible to turn Custom UI visibility off. Either in TypeScript or even with the desktop editor toggle. Works fine elsewhere. Just not in the desktop editor.

I didn't have that issue, visibility worked for me (only tested using property in desktop editor, haven't tested in TS).

I am using the native editor rather than Quest link. Could that be the difference?

I am not sure, best bet is try and see if it changes things... Even then software can be unpredictable, sometimes just reinstalling software can fix issues.

Hi FreakyChest,

Can please report this issue via Worlds Desktop Editor . 

1. Click on Main Menu (burger menu icon)

2. Click on 'Report Problem' 

3. Fill out the problem you are encountering complemented with any supporting files.

If you report this way product teams will have more insights on the version of the editor you are using which might help to get resolution faster

I will do next time, since it is no longer occurring, it might be odd sending it now.
