Can you please elaborate the issue or show some screenshots please

cheers

This has since been resolved by rebuilding the entire “Use Application” activity that the secondary activity was nested in. Apparently StudioX has issues keeping track of the application you are referring to, when making modifications to or building the activities that apply to the ‘use application’ activity. Hopefully in future releases this will be resolved because it is a productivity killer. (Just like the missing ‘find’ functionality. incredible that you cannot use ‘CTL-F’ to navigate through the development process…)

You might want to think about switching over to Studio from X. It might be why the Use App/Browser is acting up. What version are you on? (Even if it isn’t the cause, you’ll get your Ctrl+F :blush:).

More likely, you might be facing issues by trying to build the selector with a different window than the Use App. With classic activities, the window layer in the activity selector would overwrite the Attach Window selector. With modern activities, it does not.

Lastly, from the limited detail, if the app actually is changing (maybe you have some dynamic attribute in the selector that causes it to change or break) — shoot me a DM if the issue comes back.
