Expected Behavior

What should happen is that I click the Sierra Chart windows listed on the switcher and OBS switches to my top right Display

Current Behavior

Every couple of days or so I click on the windows and nothing happens, I have to delete them and add them for them to start working again. The ones that I have issues with are the ones link to the "HigherTF" Scene

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create the scenes
2. Use software normally
3. Randomly it stop switching some of the scenes
   ...

Anything else we should know?

The screenshots you shared are from the OBS built in plug-in "automatic scene switcher".

This functionality is not provided by the "advanced scene switcher" plug-in.

Sorry about the confusion!

ah, is there a way to move this issue to the advanced switcher? or do i have to recreate it?

[WarmUpTill]

I don't think there a "move" ability for GitHub issues.
You would have to create a new issue on the OBS GitHub page.

Just guessing from experience:
The window selection in the Automatic Scene Switcher supports regular expressions.
Your window titles seem to contain characters which might cause issues with regular expressions.
Regular expressions are basically a fancy, but very powerful, way to specify "placeholders" in a text.

Letters which might cause issues are for example: [, (, |, ...
You seem to be using those extensively.

Try "converting" your window titles here:

For example 4 tick TPO CLN26_FUT_CME [CB)(M] #11 | CRUDE OIL FUTURE NYMEX CL Jul 2026 (Jul26) should become 4\ tick\ TPO\ CLN26_FUT_CME\ \[CB\)\(M]\ \#11\ \|\ CRUDE\ OIL\ FUTURE\ NYMEX\ CL\ Jul\ 2026\ \(Jul26\).

I assume after doing that everything will behave as you expect it to.
