Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add to any device any @editable tag, e.g.:

    @editable
    EmptyHandVFX : visual_effect_powerup_device = visual_effect_powerup_device{}

  2. Add a value for this EmptyHandVFX (Make sure to do this), so selected a VFX powerup device

  3. Save your file

  4. Remove @editable from this device

  5. Your device is now in an infinite glitched state where it keeps asking to be resaved with almost every thing you do. E.g. launch session, or compile verse or verse refresh
