Regression
No
[macOS] "Metal: cannot write to unused constant buffer." error is thrown when using UnityEngine.GL inside OnSceneGUI
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project's "case_1326869-Project.zip" Scene labeled "Test"
2. In the Hierarchy, select the "Test" GameObject
3. In the Inspector, enter "8" under "Vertices Num" field
4. Click the "Init" button
5. Move the mouse over the Scene View
Expected result: No errors or warnings are thrown and a line is drawn
Actual result: Nothing is drawn and a "Metal: cannot write to unused constant buffer." error and "Metal: Vertex shader missing buffer binding at index 0" warning is thrown
Reproducible with: 2019.4.24f1, 2020.3.3f1, 2021.1.2f1, 2021.2.0a12
Couldn't test with: 2018.4.34f1 (Package dependencies break the project)

- [Android] Stage information is not logged when Log Shader Compilation is enabled
- [Vulkan] The memory allocation increases rapidly when there are multiple (three or more) Real-Time Reflection Probes in the Scene
- [macOS] Library folder of the opened project can be deleted which leads to the crash
- “Default Scene” dropdown field contains a spelling mistake “Default Builtin”
- Editor crashes on PPtr<Mesh> after adding Text Mesh and Cloth Components to the same GameObject
Resolution Note (2021.2.X):
There is an error in the usage of GL class. As material is never set up, unity uses the last shader set, which, in case of scene view rendering, would be some builtin blit shader. The solution would be to setup the material, e.g.
private void OnSceneGUI()
{
if(mat == null)
{
Shader shader = Shader.Find("Hidden/Internal-Colored");
mat = new Material(shader);
mat.hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave;
}
mat.SetPass(0);
