Editor freezes when IDE debugger hits a breapoint in a method with MenuItem attribute

CodeEditors

-

WARNING:
Make sure the Task Manager is closed before reproducing this issue! You will not be able to open any applications that are already open on Windows 10 taskbar, however, you can still use the Ctrl+Shift+Esc shortcut to open the Task Manager and kill the IDE process.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the user's attached "ValidatorFunctionFreeze.zip" project
2. Open the MenuItem.cs script
3. Set a breakpoint at line 17 (in ExecuteValidation method)
4. Attach a debugger and return to Unity Editor
5. Click on the "Example" in the menu bar
-- Observe the Editor freeze

Reproducible with: 2018.4.32f1, 2019.4.20f1, 2020.2.5f1, 2021.1.0b7, 2021.2.0a4

Tested with:
- Visual Studio Code
- Visual Studio 2019

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is a limitation of the Mono debugger on Windows.
    Current workaround is to run Unity and Visual Studio side by side when debugging such code (instead of running Unity in full screen)
