Crash on ParticleSystem::EndUpdateAll() when exiting Play mode while a Particle System is simulating

Visual Effects - Legacy

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project '1206498.zip'
2. Open 'Main Menu (Console)' scene
3. Enter Play mode
4. Exit it
-- observe the crash

Reproducible with: 2019.3.0b8, 2019.3.0f5, 2020.1.0a9, 2020.1.0a18
Not reproducible with: 2018.4, 2019.2, 2019.3.0b7, 2020.1.0a8

First few lines of the stack trace:
#0 0x005566b764287e in ParticleSystem::EndUpdateAll()
#1 0x005566b764314d in ParticleSystem::InitializeClass()::PostLateUpdateParticleSystemEndUpdateAllRegistrator::Forward()
#2 0x005566ba0133fe in ExecutePlayerLoop(NativePlayerLoopSystem*)
#3 0x005566ba01346a in ExecutePlayerLoop(NativePlayerLoopSystem*)

Note:
- In the UIParticleRenderer.cs script the Start() method starts simulating a Particle System for 10 seconds, to reproduce the crash you have to exit Play mode in that period

    The issue is caused when a system has a stop action and gets destroyed while it is culled.
    We have a fix which will be available soon.

    Still happening in 2019.3.5
    Or this bug
    https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/particle-system-that-has-a-stop-action-gets-cleared-after-being-paused-for-a-while

    Either way, 2019.3 build of my game is completely broken, need to rollback, i guess

    Getting this issue on 2019.3.3f1 while playing a scene. Do not have to stop the scene to hit the crash.

    One more thing. This issue does not require to exit playmode. It just happens during the gameplay

    Same here, the Unity is crashing all the time because of the particle system. Practically all versions above 2019.3.0f1 is affected. The newest one 2019.3.1f1 does NOT fix this!

    @ MRDIZZLE26 I also have my pooling system. I suspect the crash is happening when I call
    particle.Stop(true, ParticleSystemStopBehavior.StopEmittingAndClear);

    However I am not sure which particle causes this. My stop behaviour is probably Callback.
