BackgroundWorker's completion callback doesn't get called at the end of the task
To reproduce:
1) Create new project
2) Create and open new C# script
3) Add this function to it (and necessary using's):
[UnityEditor.MenuItem("Window/Test BackgroundWorker")]
private static void TestBackgroundWorker()
{
var w = new BackgroundWorker();
w.RunWorkerCompleted += (o, e) => UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Completed");
w.DoWork += (o, e) => { UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Background task start"); Thread.Sleep(1000); UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Background task end"); };
w.RunWorkerAsync();
}
4) Save the script
5) In top menu bar, select the new menu option you created (Window/Test BackgroundWorker)
Expected: You should get three messages - task start, end and completion
Actual: Completion message doesn't fire
Does not happen in play mode - all three messages fire there

In the Editor, the background worker's completion callback is not called still, in case the Editor enters play mode during background execution. The thread appears to be silently terminated (2019.2.1f1).
