Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN_materialcrash” project
2. Open the “Assets/Scenes/SampleScene.unity” scene
3. Enter the Play Mode
4. In the Assets window, right-click empty area > Create > Material

Expected results: A new material is created
Actual results: Unity Editor crashes

Reproduces with: 2022.3.56f1, 6000.0.35f1, 6000.1.0b3
Could not test with: 2022.2.0a9, 2022.2.0a10 (I couldn’t enter the Play mode due to compiler errors which I was not able to fix. This was the UUM-56959 regression point)

Reproduces on: Ubuntu 24.04
Does not reproduce on: Windows 11 Pro, MacOS

Notes:

Reproduces only right after extracting the project and opening on a specific version. Crash does not reproduce if the project was opened, closed, and again opened.

• The issue is fixed on MacOS (https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/UUM-56959)
