Hi everyone!
I've got a bug where I can't get back to editing elements after editing scripts. As soon as I turn on the Godot editor, I am in the scene element editing screen where I can drag and drop buttons, textures, etc., but as soon as I go to edit the script, I can’t go back. Previously, it was enough just to click on any element to go back to editing the elements. What am I doing wrong?

P.S I just checked in previous versions - all works fine.

I assume you need to click the main editor switcher in the top-center of the screen (2D | 3D | Script | AssetLib)

(And, yes, this feels like a 3.5 editor bug).

*** UPDATE ***

Ah, wait, this isn't a bug. In 3.5, it's controlled by:

Editor Settings | Text Editor | Navigation | Stay in script editor on node selected

Thanks! It wasn't obvious...
