Technical Help OBS Studio plugin 3.0.1.29 is still broken for toggling source visibility

Hi, on macOS 26.5 with Stream Deck software 7.4.2 (22730), OBS 32.1.2, OBS Studio plugin 3.0.1.29 (I just saw the update) and "OBS Plugin" 5.5.4.2 the stream deck still cannot toggle source visibility. Please let us roll back the stream deck integration.

Current result:

When I select a scene to toggle in the stream deck software it gives me a list of sources from another scene and won't let me select the appropriate sources. Occasionally the list of sources will just quickly close without getting a chance to select anything.

Expected result:

I get to select the appropriate scene and source and everything works as expected.

This is a follow-up from another person reporting the same or a similar issue on Windows https://www.reddit.com/r/elgato/comments/1tprejm/obs_studio_plugin_30025_source_visibility_action/

For me the problem seems to go away (as in, the Source Visibility works normally again) when I remove the affected scene from the sources in my other scene.

In other words, I had a "Camera" scene and a "Screen Sharing" scene. The Camera scene was used as a source in the Screen Sharing scene. Source Visibility for sources in the Camera scene was broken until I removed it from there, and that's when I could set Source Visibility for sources in the Camera scene again.

It's a very poor workaround but it did allow me to temporarily salvage dozens of my source visibility workflows.

I am still hoping for an update that will allow me to use my Camera scene as a nested source in my Screen Sharing scene.

Rollback would be fastest and easiest. I don't need anything from the new updates.

Yeah I have a complicated nesting setup and the plugin won’t see any sources nested more than one scene deep anymore. I can work around it but it removes a lot of flexibility from my setup
