Maya 2016 -> 2018 - userSetup scripts behaving differently now

[landonjpginn]

Hello, 
I have upgraded from 2016 to 2018 and i have a customized set of tools i like to load up as maya starts up. i am using  the setup.py script / setup.mel scripts to pop in a toolbar on load time. 
it pops up still but it doesnt allow me to click any buttons until i manually reload the script through the script editor. I would like to have this work as expected again but was curious if the usersetup files behave different now, or load in a different sequential order than they used to.

Hi,

Have you tried with Maya 2018 Update 1? There is a bug causing Python path in Maya 2018 in random order. It has been fixed in Maya 2018 Update 1.

I just instaled to try it and the issue is still there. 

it seems as though any UI based presets are happening AFTER my userSetup scripts run. which overrides my settings.

Sorry about the delay. Can you give us a working sample to research?
