4. Select 'Main Camera' in the Hierarchy
5. Observe 'NewBehaviorScript' components public fields values

  1. Resolution Note:

    This particular case has been investigated thoroughly and we have decided, in the interests of protecting the stability and features of Unity for users that rely upon the affected versions, to not address this fix for the time being. We understand that this will cause problems for some users, and so may address in a future version.
