2. Open "SampleScene"
3. Select "Tilemap" in the Hierarchy window
4. Select "Paint with active brush" in the Tile Palette window
5. Click anywhere in the Scene view
6. Close the DisplayDialog, click outside of the Scene view
7. Try to switch from Project window to Console
Expected result: No errors are thrown
Actual result: NullReferenceException is thrown, clicking outside of Scene view makes DisplayDialog pop up, switching tabs takes an extra click

As a workaround I am using the method below while waiting for a fix:
- When a BoxFill command comes. It is handled by a coroutine so called FillCoroutine().
- FillCoroutine waits for the mouseUp if it needs to show a DialogBox for the designer for a potential paint mistake. For catching the mouseUp I used the "bool executing" parameter of OnPaintSceneGUI method.
My theory is that for some reason if you trigger dialogBox -via EditorUtility.DisplayDialog- before the mouseUp event occurs -when painting onto grid- some values are not set and you get a NullRefException.
Note: Clicking around the editor 1-2 times restores the state and you can continue your work as a designer. BUT it occasioanly crashes the Unity too. And that makes the designers work to be lost when not working with autosave option enabled on prefabs.
