- Uninitialized variable warning appears in the Inspector of a custom shader when the variable is initialized
- "Failed creating toolbar element from ID..." error is thrown when resetting the Scene view Overlay layout while an Asset Transformer Toolbox overlay is active
- Entity ID for Font Assets is serialized twice which throws an error when using Debug Inspector
- Play Mode can be entered when disabling Adaptive Performance and pressing either the Play Mode button or the keyboard shortcut to enter Play Mode before recompilation leading to errors and warnings thrown
- Parent ListView element also becomes selected when inner ListView element is selected
Resolution Note:
GetBoneTransform requires an active animator to return the correct transform.
Prefabs don't have active animators until they are instantiated.
The best way to fix the sample in this case would be to instantiate the prefabs in the Start method, cache the poses from the prefabs for later use, and remove the instantiated prefabs.
