I was browsing through the Unity Issue Tracker and noticed that a lot of editing-related bugs keep showing up, especially around prefab and collider workflows. Even small changes often require extra clicks, which really slows things down during long sessions.

Has anyone here found a reliable way to make the editing process more efficient? A teammate mentioned that in some cases, smaller tools feel smoother and almost better than vn editor
for quick adjustments, which made me wonder if Unity has plans to refine this experience in future updates.

How are you all handling these little editing frustrations — do you just work around them, or wait for fixes to roll out?

As a newcomer, I find this issue quite significant for workflow efficiency. Having to repeatedly click "Edit Collider" for every minor adjustment in Prefab mode can disrupt the editing process and slow down development, especially when working on complex shapes. It would be great if the "Edit Collider" option could remain active until manually deselected, allowing for multiple edits in one session. This change would make the feature more intuitive and user-friendly. It's good to see such feedback being raised, as improvements in usability have a huge impact on productivity. Looking forward to seeing this resolved in future updates!

This seems not to be fixed.
At least not for me.

Just started happening to me. I edited my collider with no issue when I created it, but now I can't edit it without having to open the editor again every single time I move a point.

Seems to still be present in 2019.2.4f1

If you turn off "Auto Save" this doesnt happen.

Is there any way to edit comments? xD
My solution below requires LinQ, null propagation

Here's an edited version that works with polygoncollider2d. It seems that PolygonCollider2DEditor has to be set to edit mode in the next "frame" rather than when its exit mode ended.

[InitializeOnLoadMethod]
public static void InitLoad()
{
EditMode.onEditModeEndDelegate -= Collider2DEditModeFixer;
EditMode.onEditModeEndDelegate += Collider2DEditModeFixer;
}

static void Collider2DEditModeFixer(Editor editor)
{
if (EditMode.editMode == EditMode.SceneViewEditMode.Collider || EditMode.IsOwner(editor)) return;

var sel = Selection.activeGameObject;
var cols = sel?.GetComponents<Collider2D>();
if (cols == null || cols.Length == 0) return;

var t = editor.target as Collider2D;
if (t != null && (cols?.Contains(t) ?? false))
{
EditorApplication.delayCall += () => EditMode.ChangeEditMode(EditMode.SceneViewEditMode.Collider, t.bounds, editor);
}
}

I created an automated fix for this. Sometimes i have multiple colliders in the same object so choosing just the first editor to edit won't work.
The only downside is that if you want to exit the collider edit mode you have to select another object.

var cols = sel?.GetComponents<Collider2D>();

var t = editor.target as Collider2D;
if (t != null && cols.Contains(t))
{
EditMode.ChangeEditMode(EditMode.SceneViewEditMode.Collider, t.bounds, editor);
}
}
