  1. Resolution Note:

    Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity.

    The issue arises from a failed texture import, of which the user is sufficiently notified. Despite the Inspector freezing up locally, the user is still able to select other assets and continue working. After providing a valid texture for the broken asset, the error no longer happens.

    We have reviewed the issue carefully, and in this case the team is unable to prioritize fixing this bug. There are a number of reasons we make this decision, including the impact and severity of the issue across our user and customer base, and the possibility that future plans may solve the problem in a different way, or that a workaround for the bug may be available.

    Today we will be closing this case. Thank you again for taking the time to report this issue, and please let us know if there is anything else that changes the impact or severity of this issue.
