Was there ever a fix for this where the attribute editor stops responding?. You can still use the xgen tools and render, but attributes won't load automatically and the outliner is empty.
I was hoping in maya 2026 they would have fixed it and no I am not going to delete my preferences , because that does not solve the issue

When this occurs you can't even exit maya without ctl alt del. I have seem this bug from around 2015 but never saw a fix for it.
i was going to buy maya indie, but this is really making me think twice
