Material Application Issue in DAZ Studio 4.24 – Auto-Deselection?

Hi everyone,
I’m running into an issue with DAZ Studio version 4.24 that I didn’t experience in 4.22. Whenever I select a figure or prop and apply a material to it, the item gets automatically deselected right after the material is applied.
To apply another texture or make further adjustments, I have to reselect the figure/prop manually. This makes the workflow really cumbersome and time-consuming.
I never had this problem in version 4.22, so I’m wondering if this is a new behavior or a bug in 4.24? Has anyone else encountered this, or maybe knows a workaround or setting that might help?
To better show what I mean, I’ve recorded a short video that demonstrates the issue.

Is it just that product or does it do it with other products? I notice you don't have any emtadata tags on the files (e.g. the materials tag at top-right) so there may be a database issue.
It is with every product and works totally fine in 4.22 without metadata tags.
I am not seeing this. How about if you diable third-party plug-ins and restart DS? http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/plugins/plugins_load_config/start
Here is a video from 4.24 with a product with metadata tags. Same problem. :(

Thanks Richard, will take a look at it tomorrow.
You had a good instinct. A plugin was to blame for the error.
I had the beta version of the Foliage Maker by AM installed — with the regular version of the Foliage Maker, everything works as usual again.
Thanks again!
Glad it was an easy fix.
