Project window bugged - NullReferenceException

Questions & Answers
1

I just got this, from out of the blue lol

[22992-access+to+modified+closure.png|22992]

It happens when I go Right click | Create | MonoBehaviour

Tried closing/reopening the window and restarting unity, didn’t help. Restarting Unity does get the window back however, but I still get the error when I create a script file…

It’s not just a NullRefExc, it will even prevent scripts from compiling…

Any ideas what to do here? I tried clearing EditorPrefs, no dice.

Using Unity 4.3.3f1 if it helps.

Thanks for any help.

EDIT:

It seems that the error not just happens when I create a script, but just create anything really from the Create context menu… :confused:

I faced up to similar case, and resolved.
Right click on project tree, “Reimport All”

Problem solved! Removed EVERY Unity trace from my system (prefs, registry, files, etc) - Downloaded a fresh installed and reinstalled. Back to work.

EDIT:

So after I re-installed and ran unity successfully, I still got the same error when I create something! BUT GUESS WHAT? - if I change the project window layout to two columns, I won’t get any problems! - I seem to get that error when I have a single column! No idea why.

EDIT:

For some reason, that was only happening in that certain project, I moved into a new one and everything’s nice and cozy now :slight_smile:
