    This issue is clearly not fixed. Why is it marked as fix? Many people are still having the same problem. I am still having this problem in unity 2022.3.22f1.

    I'm facing the same issue, editor freeze and not responding on 2023.3.14 LTS.
    I thought that original texture was to heavy (16000x16000) but changing it to 1024x1024 give me the same result.
    Could you please reopen the ticket ? I can give you a project with the issue.

    Update: eventually (after at least 2 hours in my case) the "Hold On" pop-up vanishes. And, based on the improved results of the light map baking the light map UVs were correctly generated.
    So... it seems like the issue (for Unity 2018.2) is that the progress bar does not provide an indication of progress.
    (An estimated time to completion and/or jobs remaining would be nice in addition to the progress bar.)

    Encountering what seems to be the same same issue in Unity 2018.2.0f2, Windows 10.
    (1) Import exported to binary FBX (2019 version) by 3Ds 2019. (Model is somewhat complicated, with multiple levels of detail present for some objects.)
    (2) Select "Generate Lightmap UVs" with default settings & hit "Apply"
    (3) A "Hold On" window appears with an empty progress bar and the model listed beneath.
    (4) Unity consumes about 18% of CPU, 5GB of memory, makes no progress & is non responsive.

    I also experienced this problem on Windows 10 in Unity 2017.3.1f1. What was infuriating was that it froze Unity, so I had to force quit it, but then when I would go to open the project back up it would continue trying to generate the lightmap uvs before the editor opened which would cause it to freeze. I thought I was going to have to start my entire project from scratch, but luckily I figured out that if I ended certain tasks as soon as they popped up like UnwrapCL.exe and Maya, I could get it to stop.

    This problem unfortunately still exists in 2017.3.0 and 2018.1.0, specifically when trying to generate lightmaps for an fbx with many elements. Personally, I can track down which element UVs are causing the crashes, but an unwanted side effect is the entire import switches back to a 'default asset', which means you may lose a lot of progress.

    yep this problem still exists. my model was too complex. ill have to break it down into smaller model sections to fix this issue ;-)
