Add Component crashes a lot

Unity Engine
,
1

Frequently I have to be in fear of unity crashing when I want to add a script via the inspector.

  • click on Add Component
  • Search for a script
  • Hit enter to add

OR

  • click on Add Component
  • add a script by selecting it

Causes the editor to ctd frequently.

[edit]

I just wanted to add that the editor doesn’t crash when dragging the script from the project folder directly to the object/inspector. The issue should more or less be related to the popup dialogues, as it also happens when linking an object in the inspector (like setting a public transform to another object in the scene).

Just wanted to add a BIG thanks to the unity devs for fixing this problem in the newest build (Build #2015091501
). Seems like the editor doesn’t crash anymore when using Add Component.

Also I can now see the full color dialogue now. This is awesome. : )

I already got a lot of work done on my game with the experimental build, so I’m really happy. Now things will go even faster.

This build is a lot better :slight_smile: I still can crash the Add Component dialog if I go like this:

  1. Click Add Component
  2. Click outside of the pop-up
  3. Move the mouse

Here’s the log:

I tried to submit the report with the tool but it says “connection refused” right now.

Although this issue seems already fixed for some people (this old issue is marked as fixed) I’m getting this problem in Unity Linux 5.3.0f4

My Unity Editor crashes a lot specially when adding 2D physics components like RigidBody2D or BoxCollider2D (almost 100% of the times) :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Do you know of any fix or workaround for this?

I’ve been getting somewhat frequent crashes when adding UI and script components. I’ll post a log next time it happens.

I have the same problem running 5.3.3f1. Just after double clicking or multiple times clicking on Add Component.
