Unity Engine
1

This is only happening with my editor on this project. Everyone on my team is completely fine and has not experienced this bug. I don’t know what is causing this issue. this unity I am using is the 2021.3.27.f1. Every time I save the project my unity UI just bugs like showing in the picture, not just that icon bar but the directions also turn black and some menus like the package manager stop working. Like in the second image

If you use the Ctrl+S hotkey to save (who doesn’t? :slight_smile: ) then I’d first check if this is an editor issue by saving via the menu: File => Save

If the issue does not occur when saving through the menu then some other app or system utility may be reacting to Ctrl+S and perform something that messes with the editor.

If it does occur, it’s definitely an issue within the project. More so if it occurs only in this but not in other projects, which to me indicates that an editor script may interfere.

I would first try to reset all layouts though:

See if that fixes it. If it does, you will need to rearrange all of your editor windows again, then save it as a layout.
If you already have a saved layout that you don’t want to lose, you could try loading it again and hope it will not cause the issue to re-appear. If the issue re-appear you’ll have to re-do the layout, but that really shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

If none of this helped, it may be worthwhile making a copy of the project, then locate and disable editor scripts and packages as much as possible and frequently check if the issue persists. If you’re lucky you will be able to narrow it down to a single script or package and then start analysing why.

Otherwise, I’d check if a graphics driver update may help. Personally, I use the Nvidia Studio Driver, not the gaming driver, because they tend to be more stable which is all I care about for work.

The reset of all layouts did not work and I was checking another version of Unity and in 2022.3.4f1 the bug was not present. Unfortunately in that Unity version, my project multiplayer is broken.

I find how to replicate the bug more easily on the unity 2022.3.4f1, in this version, the bug only happens when you build for the Linux server, when I build the project again for the Windows version the editor goes back to normal.
