[macOS] VSync in Quality Settings has no effect and screen tearing is visible when in Game View

MacOS

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project's Scene labeled "SampleScene"
2. Enter the Play Mode
3. In the Scene View, move the "Cube" in any direction
4. Observe the Game View

Expected result: No screen tearing is visible
Actual result: VSync doesn't affect screen tearing

Reproducible with: 2018.4.26f1, 2019.4.8f1, 2020.1.3f1, 2020.2.0a21
Not reproducible with: 2017.4.40f1

Workaround: Enable the Game View VSync option (located under Aspect Ratio options in the top Game View toolbar)

Note: Not reproducible on Windows

Documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-QualitySettings.html

  1. Resolution Note:

    The player VSync Count settingĀ is only used within the Unity Player and it is ignored in the editor context. The best workaround is indeed to use the Game View VSync toggle (which doesn't provide a strong vsync guarantee either, but can help).
