Editor crashes on Game resolution change

When trying to change the resolution / aspect radio of the Game tab in the editor, Unity crashes (every time, on an empty 2D project). Once the resolution entry is clicked (e.g. 1024x768), you can see the window layout change for a split second and then editor crashes. Logged as case #722777 on the tracker.

Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, using open-source AMD driver with Mesa, AMD Radeon 7850, kernel 3.13.0-52-generic.

Thanks for the report, we’ll look into it.

Was about to report this myself, but as I can see from this thread, apparently it is a known issue. This appears to still be happening in the latest version.

I am having the same issue on Build #2016010601. I found I can change the resolution freely in Play mode, and the changes persist when you exit. The change also persist when you have saved a scene. Any change outside of Play Preview mode leads to an immediate core dump.

However, in any mode other than Free Aspect, the UI elements don’t seem to respond to input. Switching back to Free Aspect lets them work normally, but in any other mode, nothing interacts.

About to write a bug report but this seems related. Changing the aspect does not crash the editor for me. Instead mouse events don’t seem to work properly at all. I wrote some simple drag/drop code. It works completely in Free Aspect. Once I switched to a fixed aspect ratio, things like OnMouseEnter refuse to trigger.

I have this exact same issue, it was reported last March, when can we be expecting a fix for this?

I am dumb as hell, I downloaded the latest 5.3.1f1 and the problem is resolved. For search engines and the adhd impaired, the link to the latest Linux version can be found here as the last post:

Why is this not on the downloads page?

It still happens in 5.3.1, but not always.

Thanks a bunch, you saved me real headache. Can you check my other thread, since I assume you are using GNU/Linux as well. I suspect an XFCE problem, but I need someone with another UI to confirm or not. Thanks again for your help!
