  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2021.2):

    We are simplify the option to either allow auto-refresh during playmode or not. Reasoning is that there are two use cases for this: Artist who want to allow refresh during playmode so that he can go tweak textures in photoshop and see change when he switches back. Coder who either like to do the same (ie. change code and go back to see the changes) or like to change code without unity compiling/domain-reload when he re-focus the editor (instead prefers to press ctrl+r himself). The case we are removing is where switching back to the editor can refresh non-scripts, but script changes are handled after the user goes out of playmode. That case was really not aligned with how we reflect state from disk into the editor and is currently broken.

    What is the delay in fixing this issue? Every time I change external code Unity reloads scripts -- and I have explicitly told the editor NOT to.
