Description
The issue I am having might be easier to understand by watching the video I posted on the RR Discord, here’s a direct link to the message containing the video : Discord
This has begun since the update on June 3rd. I tried the Oculus PC version and the Steam version, on screen mode, and I get this behavior.
I was using the advanced creation mode before the update, if that matters.
Strangely enough, I can login with an alt on the same PC with the same Steam installation, and that alt can use the maker pen just fine (also on advanced creation mode)
I attached the player log file in case it could help diagnose this issue.
Edit : On Steam in VR mode with the same game installation, the maker pen works as expected but back on screen mode, it glitches again.

Fun fact, if my maker pen is favorited, it does that thing in the video I linked in my first message.
However if I don’t favorite it in my backpack, the glitch displays differently. See this Discord message for the video : Discord
Maker pen on screen mode is still bugged after June 9th update.
Meanwhile, since it works just fine on an alt account, I tried to see what settings could be different between my main account (this one I’m using right now to post on the forum) and my alt account. I couldn’t figure it out.
I thought maybe it was some inventions that prevented that, so I deleted a bunch of downloaded and unpublished inventions, with no success.
I found a workaround, and possibly the cause of the crash! 
Opening the maker pen (while advanced creation mode is enabled) in the special MakerAI dorm room works for some weird reason (that said, the first time I try to take it out, it gets dropped on the ground instantly. 2nd time it works).
After succesfully opening my maker pen, I went back to a normal dorm without changing anything. It starts glitching again (same in R1.0 room or R2.0 room).
I went back to MakerAI dorm, it works again.
Then I turned off random settings 1 by 1 and went back and forth between the MakerAI dorm and my dorm, to find out that turning off “Allow full screen config menu in Advanced Creator Mode” resolve the issues I had in other rooms!
After turning off that option, I also don’t have the other weird glitch where my maker pen drops on the floor the first time I try to take it out in the MakerAI dorm.
I also tried turning this setting back on and after switching room, my maker pen is broken again.
So I’m 99% sure this setting is somehow the source of the cause of my maker pen crashing.
(Also very minor thing, sometimes this mode is called Advanved CreatION mode, some other times Advanced CreatOR mode.
I also tested on my alt that previously had no issues. Enabling the setting does break maker pen on my alt. That said without access to the special MakerAI dorm, I can’t fix it. (even by joining someone who has access to it)
