Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a UI/UX bug with the new Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview in Google AI Studio where the voice pacing control is broken upon opening the panel.
The Problem:
When opening the Speaker Settings sidebar, the “Pacing” selection under the Director’s Note section automatically initializes on “The Drift”. Clicking on a different setting does nothing. I’ve selected “Natrual” before, but now the setting doesn’t change to anything else.
What I’ve Tried:
- Attempting to click and change the selection immediately upon loading a fresh voice workspace.
- Overriding the pacing instructions manually using inline text narrative tags and the “Sample Context” box, but the model still follows “The Drift” preset rule.
- Clearing browser cache and trying a hard reload (
Ctrl + F5), but it still initializes with the dropdown completely frozen on this option.
It looks like the dropdown state payload for the Director’s note is broken or failing to register click/selection events on initial render. Is anyone else locked out of changing the pacing from “The Drift” on load? Hopefully, the engineering team can roll out a quick interface fix!
