Issue with notes causes every widget to break in uefn

Summary

Just added 1 note to a device and after you do this you cannot add another note to anything even when you click the select menu and try.

Further to this which is more serious when you add 1 note everything ui related in uefn ie widget for scale/move ect completely vanishes and i cannot get it back unless a full restart

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

Steps to Reproduce

add a note and see the result when you try to add another

Expected Result

it didnt use to do this so it should work as normal

Observed Result

its broken and will make it completely useless as i cannot restart uefn every time i wanna add 1 note

Platform(s)

pc

Additional Notes

Will upload a video in a few minutes just need to restart uefn and record it happening

Please see Video

It appears that when adding a note the selection box for the widget is unchecked and cannot be then rechecked this is the issue so should greatly help with a fast fix

On a second note please raise the billboard issue. When you are in uefn after a restart 50% of the time they are missing and you must hide/show as in the video this also happens when your in the session with the phone tool and when you phase through the billboard they show

The vote button seems to have vanished from the forums for myself aswell unsure if thats a wide system issue

bump

Bumping this as its still broken but the vote button is back at least :slight_smile:

Come on

I shouldn’t need to keep bumping this

This is a serious issue that needs fixing asap

Its made one of the most useful tools a creator has on uefn unusable

BUMP

Incredible! Apparently no one uses this…
Tried today and notice this bug…

I’m really worried that no one use this comment tool… lol

i use to use it so much . Its such a strong dev tool imo especially when you start having a big complex game

Hey @AtAshTag thanks for making this report. I’m sorry you’ve had to bump it a number of times before we got to it. A fix is now prepared and if all goes to plan it will be part of the next release.

In the mean time, the way to get out of the state where you can’t use any Gizmos is to use the drop down on the top left of the viewport to change the mode from ‘No Active Mode’ back to ‘Selection’ mode after creating a Note. Not ideal, but should let you use the tool again while waiting for the proper fix to land.

Thankyou for your response @raghav.narula and informative work around

I must say I’m shocked this was not raised by more people. The notes functionality is such a strong tool for creators and i can only assume the function is not known enough by creators.

Thanks again to you and the team for sorting this issue and @Flak for the work she does on these forums
