    Please fix this for 6000.4+, not just 6000.6. It makes the Unity editor unusable and requires a complete restart of Unity.

    Same here on Windows 11, both 6.4.2 and 6.4.3.

    I had to create a reload domain (EditorUtility.RequestScriptReload()) toolbar button so I can fix inspector whenever this happens...

    It's really a major issue for the entire Unity Company, imagine all the new users who joined during this time before it's fixed, only found out the engine is basically unusable, do you guys have any reputations left for the community to tarnish at this point anymore???
    FIX THIS DAMN THING NOW!!!!

    ah, just saw this "Under Consideration for 6000.6.X" but why Under Consideration?
    is there really any other bugs that has higher pri than this bug????? FR????
    If you actually try to dev a game with this bug....you will encounter this bug very frequently and will be forced to restart the editor at least 10 times a day...it's no fun bro.

    Please fix this issue and make sure it's a priority, since it's super common to has gameObject selected and reload domine, it really made the editor unusable, given the fact it also happing in 6000.5.0b4
    6000.6.0a2
    does that means we will only get a fix at 6000.7????? that would be crazy
    Please fix it
