    We have had to downgrade to 2019.4.12, not a big deal, but we have a team of game designers whose tools depend on this functionality . I hope this will be fixed in the next LTS release.

    However, good practice for mapping hierarchy of your project right into your brain!

    @OMX-JONSON
    Or simply rightclick on a header of the component, not so bad

    As a workaround (which is painful, but still better than nothing) :
    In inspector, where the script component is, there's 3 small dots. Click them and from the dropdown select "Edit script". It opens Visual Studio.

    Seriously, lads. How can something like this go into the LTS?
    You add new LTS version, and it has such a HUGE error.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Please fix this ASAP.
    What's next? Hide mouse cursor in editor? :)

    This simple little bug is a workflow crusher when you have lots of scripts.

    Any one seeing this, a short-term workaround is to switch your inspector to debug mode.

    This issue decreases usability and productivity. Very important to fix it.

    Not only the script object field, all the disabled object fields stopped being interactable, I have a lot of systems that shows disabled object fields and that bug broke them...

    What are you changing in an LTS version that breaks basic functionality like this?

    Why wasn't this caught by QA before release?

    Or was it caught but you decided it's not a blocker?
