Expected Behavior

The Script Manager and WebSocket server settings in the Tools tab should open normally when clicked.

Current Behavior

The Script Manager and WebSocket server settings in the Tools tab do not open when clicked.
However, clicking Automatic Scene Switcher in the Tools tab suddenly opens all previously unresponsive tool windows at once.

Steps to Reproduce

1.Launch OBS
2.Force quit OBS (e.g., using Command + Option + Esc)
3.Restart OBS
4.Click Script Manager or WebSocket server settings from the Tools tab → They do not open
5.However, clicking Automatic Scene Switcher in the Tools tab suddenly opens all previously unresponsive tool windows at once

Research direction

Reproduce on macOS 14 using the listed force-quit and restart steps, then inspect the Tools tab behavior for Script Manager, WebSocket server settings, and Automatic Scene Switcher. Done means the first two windows open when clicked after restart, without needing to click Automatic Scene Switcher.
