This problem was reported for 3.5.0 here: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=57814.msg636617834#msg636617834

For some reason AGS may fail at reading roomXXX.crm.user file, which contains auxiliary information about room editing, such as last selected item, and visible layers. And when it fails, it also fails at initializing room editor correctly.

I am currently investigating this, and it would be nice if you could send me room's *.crm and corresponding *.crm.user file for testing.
For example, if it's room 5, these are files called room5.crm and room5.crm.user.


As a workaround, I believe it should work again if you delete or move away roomXXX.crm.user file (NOT *.crm itself!)

If you still have this file, could you send it and your room to me for analysis?
