I suggested a way to fix this in https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop/pull/5672 but did not manage to convince the rest of the team that it's worth it. cc @D8H @LuniMoon @ClementPasteau @AlexandreSi we have here an example of a user confused and thinking that GDevelop is bugged, which is fair and we can't avoid this in the current state.

I'm sure its an issue, but I'm not convinced the auto-loading of current external layout is a useful feature. I've never used it and it only annoys me from time to time. I would be interested to know if users really use this feature to test levels. If this is not the case, I think it could be better to remove it rather doing an obscure smart system that disable itself according to events content and could lead to even more confusion.
