Garbage Collector allocates unnecessary memory when Script Component is enabled and displayed in Inspector

--

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the user-attached "RepaintTest-Repro" project and open the "SampleScene"
2. Open the Standalone Profiler (Window > Analysis > Profiler (Standalone Process))
3. In Profiler select "Edit Mode" (Target Selection > "Edit Mode")
4. Select the "CPU Usage" category and observe the "Overview" section
5. Go back to the Editor
6. In Hierarchy select "RepaintTest" GameObject
7. Focus on the Inspector window (click anywhere within the Inspector)
8. Go back to the Profiler and Pause the profiling of information
9. In the "CPU Usage" category select any frame and observe the “Overview” section

Expected result: GUIView.RepaintAll.RequestRepaint does not allocate memory
Actual result: GUIView.RepaintAll.RequestRepaint allocates memory

Reproduced with: 2020.3.47f1, 2021.3.22f1, 2022.2.13f1, 2023.1.0b10, 2023.2.0a9

Reproduced on: Windows 10 (by reporter), Windows 11

Notes:
1. When the "Use Repaint" field is deactivated, the Garbage Collector does not allocate any memory
2. When the "Use Repaint" field is activated, but the component is hidden in the Inspector menu, the Garbage Collector does not allocate any memory
3. The amount of memory the Garbage Collector allocates differs from version to version
4. For Unity Editor version 2020.3.47f1 the standalone Profiler did not work, but it’s possible to reproduce with the standard Profiler (in-Editor)

  1. Resolution Note:

    After investigation, we have deemed this a low priority issue that won't be fixed in the near future either because it is too costly to implement or because there are risks of introducing other problems doing so.

    If you feel this is a wrong assessment, please reach out again, providing more details about the impact of that issue.
