Solutions

Workaround

Reload the Project.

Possible fixes

Settings button in the EditorView.tscn does not seem to be connected, so I am not sure how you are responding to it and how you would adjust that code.

Hmmmm... Not sure why it doesn't work for you. For me pressing settings again does work (show the previously edited thing again). You can alternatively open any timeline or character from the file system, picker or side bar (only on main). Did you edited any resource before opening the settings?

[FeralBytes]

No I had not created a timeline or any kind of character. So perhaps that is why.

[Jowan-Spooner]

That is probably the case. However you should still be able to exit the settings by creating a new timeline or character from the two toolbar buttons. Or does that not work?

[FeralBytes]

I tested this and even though it allowed me to create a new timeline, it did not switch to the new timeline. I was still stuck in settings and could not get it to go to the new timeline for editing.

Can confirm that this is happening to me as well.

Navigating to the FileSystem dialog box, double clicking a timeline on file, closes stuck dialogic settings editor window

Just confirming this as well...

With a fresh Godot beta 5 download, and freshly added dialogic alpha 4 post your code cleanup. I have the same problem when you hit setting before starting and saving a new timeline.

After it gets stuck, you can add a timeline, but one time I messed with the window resizing tab, and it showed that the settings panel slightly shifted to the right that showed that the setting panel hover over the newly instantiated dialog editor or character editor.

But what seems to break me out of this is double clicking a timeline from the FileSystem dialog box.

Adding a new timeline, click on the drop down menu and selecting the newly created timeline seems to skip having to reload.

part 2 ad-hoc workaround until a proper fix.

if you don't copy over any timelines nor characters from the dialogic addon...

if you get stuck on settings window and have no timeline to double click to in FileSystem editor dialog window.

I'm working on a full editor rewrite that will add tabs for the editors and settings. So nobody should get stuck in the future! Might take a couple more days until everything works again.

I consider this fixed on main. If someone still has problems in the future, let me know.
