    This issue is still present in 2020.3.35f1, 2020.3.37f1 and 2020.3.40f1 (as far as I have tested)

    For me I enter then exit play mode, after which as soon as any code is changed and Unity recompiles the editor will crash every time.

    I downgraded to 2020.3.18f1 and the editor no longer crashes
