    I have ProGrids as well as ProBuilder installed on all of my projects, but I continuously run into an error while using ProGrids.

    I have Googled the issue and cannot seem to find anything related to the subject.

    My issue:

    When opening ProGrids, a window opens up in the editor displaying the config for ProGrids. After having ProGrids open for a period of time, and sometimes very quickly, the application will glitch and automatically open a second ProGrids tab and sometimes many more. (It duplicates it in the editor so that I have multiple ProGrids open at the same time). This creates a lag on the editor due to the duplicated ProGrid windows being opened.

    When I try to close one of them, I am unable to close all of them. I can exit out of only a single instance of ProGrids, but I am unable to exit out of the duplicated windows.

    The only solution is restarting the entire project.

    I literally have no idea why it is doing this and cannot find a cause. It seems to happen randomly after opening ProGrids.

    ProGrids is by far one of the more helpful tools offered in the Package Manager and I would love to figure out how to solve this!

    Thanks =D

    Edit:
    Will provide screenshot the next time the glitch occurs.

    These are the screenshots.

    If you look at them, you'll notice multiple ProGrids are open.

    I close one of them and they are still open and the Unity Editor doesn't recognize them as open.

    Dropping a reply here just to let you know that you're not alone out there :D I have the same issue and it's slowly driving me insane (among other issues...).

    Hi there!
    @thearkrafter , @henrik_unity240, @xplicitgreek69

    Progrids package is not supported anymore. Most of the package features has been move to the unity snapping settings. As so, we will not be able to publish a new version of tht package with a fix for that problem.

    However, if you want to fix it yourself, I have the code changes for that :D
    In the file Editor/ProGridsEditor.cs modify the following:
    Remove line 27
    Code (CSharp):
    1. PlayModeStateListener.onEnterPlayMode += ProGridsEditor.DestroyIfEnabled;
    Replace with :
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. PlayModeStateListener.onExitEditMode += ProGridsEditor.DestroyIfEnabled;
    3. AssemblyReloadEvents.beforeAssemblyReload += ProGridsEditor.DestroyIfEnabled;
    4.  
    That should remove that bug for you!
    I'll see if I can come back with a better option for you but as I said, the package is not supported anymore, creating conflicts with the new overlay system notably, so I'm not sure I can help you more than that!
