Reproduced with: 2020.1.0a9, 2019.3.0b8, 2019.2.10f1, 2019.2.0b1, 2019.2.0a7

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2020.1):

    The reason for the issue is because the code was incorrectly assigning a lambda function to "EditorApplication.delayCall", which was messing all our internal uses and preventing the Layouts menu to be properly populated.

    What the fix does is change the type of "EditorApplication.delayCall" from "delegate" to the more appropriate type "event". This prevents users from incorrectly assigning directly to it. So the user will have to change his code from:

    EditorApplication.delayCall = () => {};

    to

    EditorApplication.delayCall += () => {};

    Regression on 2022.1.15f1 after having to reinstall the editor, and resolving TxtMesh Pro packages. Search for 'EditorApplication.delayCall' assignments turned up nothing in the Assets folder.

    What script does that change need to be made in. I did a search on my whole solution and didn't find that line.
