I changed the external script editor to the default and now I can’t open Editor Preferences. I went into the registry and deleted the Preferences entry to no avail. What could the issue be?
What Unity version did you test? 2019.3.0b10?
Do you get any error message?
What’s the default external script editor? Is this program actually installed?
Does it work if you select a different external script editor than default?
Does it work in a different Unity version? For example in 2019.1?
Hi, I have the same problem. Using Unity 2019.3.0a10, using Mac. I did also a small change to Raider editor. And now the preference dialogue does not show up.
Attached the .plist file
4803602–459491–com.unity3d.UnityEditor5.x.plist.zip (9.82 KB)
Case #1173230 (I reported)
Windows 10
- What happened
The Preferences cannot be opened anymore in the Editor.
The following error shows up in the Console upon trying.
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEditor.SettingsProvider.Repaint () (at <5e3c867fd4cc418f8c0584e878722a23>:0)
UnityEngine.InputSystem.Editor.InputSettingsProvider.ForceReload () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@0.2.10-preview/InputSystem/Editor/Settings/InputSettingsProvider.cs:351)
UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputSystem.OnProjectChange () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@0.2.10-preview/InputSystem/InputSystem.cs:1692)
- How we can reproduce it using the example you attached
- Open Unity 2019.3.0a10
- Open Preferences
- Select External Editor setting
- Select Open default by extension
The preferences window immediately closes and the error shows up in the console.
After you close the editor no matter what, the preference window cannot be opened. Not even in a new project. Not even in the 2019.2.0f1.
Hey Lurking Ninja,
Seems like this is fixed in Unity 2019.3.0a11. If not please let me know.
Thanks.

For me changing window layout helps.
When I load a project, editor is opened with “Layout” in Layout dropdown and Editor settings cannot be opened:
When I change Layout to something else, ex. Default, I can open editor settings.
