EditorUtility.CopySerialized with Sprite generates excessive data
Reproduction steps:
1. Open attached project "CopySerializedIssue.zip"
2. Select Assets -> Create -> Diced Sprite Atlas
3. In Project window, select the newly created Diced Sprite Atlas
4. From Project window, drag-drop Assets/Textures folder to the Inspector window -> Input Folder field
5. In Inspector window, press Build Atlas, observe Generated Data Size field
6. In Inspector window, press Rebuild Atlas, observe Generated Data Size field
Expected result: The size stays the same (8 KB)
Actual result: The size increases (8KB -> 10KB)
Reproducible with: 2020.3.9f1, 2021.1.8f1, 2021.2.0a17
Could not test with: 2018.4.35f1, 2019.4.26f1 (package version dependencies break project)
Note:
The size increases only after the first Rebuild. To reproduce the issue again, you need to delete the Diced Sprite Atlas and Generated Data assets, then repeat steps 1-6.

Latest issues
- Out-of-bounds memory access with multiple CanvasRenderers under a Canvas when using Mesh API
- Inspector tries to access file after it was deleted when the file was locked in Inspector window
- Changing Transform values in Search window Inspector loses focus while dragging and stopping mouse without releasing dragging action
- Saving changes on the dirty VFX Graph during the Play mode throws "The referenced script (Unknown) on this Behaviour is missing!" warnings
- VFX Graph Debug Info overlaps the "Initialize" block debug info by default
Resolution Note:
The difference is Editor only data (AtlasRD) which gets reinitialized due to the way DicedSpriteAtlasEditor.cs creates Sprites. It seems the same Sprite is being reloaded and saved again on Rebuild. This is by design.
To avoid such behavior, please use Importer Workflow (ScriptedImporter)
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptedImporters.html
Please take a look at PSDImporter for an example of Importer creating Sprites.
