4.14.2 built from source. Asset picker stays open when you bring it up and open an asset. It used to close, and it’s just weird now. Also it takes a double click to open an asset in the list, not a simple click anymore. Weird as well. Enter key still works but the asset picker stays on screen. ---

Hello , I ran a few tests on my end and I was unable to reproduce this issue on our end. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing. Quick questions: 1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project? 2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end? 3. Could you provide screens shots of any blueprints/settings that may be involved? ---

Hi Rudy, thanks for the quick reply. Yes I can reproduce it on a new clean project. To be clear, this is UE4.14.2 built from github tag 4.14.2-release with the corresponding PS4 source added and compiled UE4Editor. Here is where it gets interesting: if the asset opened will open as a window, the asset picker will disappear as expected. If however the asset open will open as _a tab of the main window_, the asset picker will stay there. Steps - new project, no starter content - go to project settings, created a new gamemode GM - underneath created a new player controller PC - compiled both, saved level to LVL1 - close all tabs/windows except for LVL1. - open asset picker (on my machine it’s CTRL\_SHIFT\_R a la Intellij) - press enter right away - observe that GM opens as _window_, and the asset picker disappear as expected - drag GM tab to become a tab next to LVL1 (a tab of the main window) - close GM - open asset picker again - press enter right away - this time, GM opens as a _tab_, but the asset picker stays open. Since most of my assets open as tabs, this happens all the time for me. This is a UX regression for sure, that wasn’t happening in 4.12, 4.10, etc. 3 screenshots to illustrate steps Hope this helps. ![122491-548793-1.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/a/0/da0a14143c90f8a67ea800a3ebd985a15fb70dcf.jpeg) ![122492-548793-2.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/5/e/15e22f5093c9d9fd3482ae52ec1d656462c0049e.jpeg) ![122493-548793-3.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/4/f/74f90ebc698be9fed02c0095b55dfa8a2088cdc5.jpeg) ---
