This is my issue, but GM again lost info about my github authorization (thought I refreshed it 5 minutes ago).

Might be connected with https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/6050 .

Also, when reporting a bug, I've got such window:

Seems that layer effects are prefabs now and that might be connected to this issue somehow.

This might be casued by Locale settings, same as #5986 and #6058 . I still had it on runtime 2024.600.0.582 if that helps.
