[LowHangingFruit] Material is applied to two slots when applying Material to a single slot while recording Animation

Animation

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open user's attached "VRC_Mishe_mod3" project
2. Open "SampleScene" Scene
3. Open Animation window (Window->Animation->Animation)
4. In Project window open Assets->Mishe_custom->Materials
5. In the Hierarchy expand "Mishe_custom" Prefab and select "body"
6. In the Inspector under Skinned Mesh Renderer component expand Materials
7. Start recording in the Animation window
8. Drag "M_hair" material to Element 2 slot in the Inspector
9. Drag "M_facial expressions" to Element 4 slot in the Inspector

Expected result: "M_facial expressions" Material is applied only to the Element 4
Actual result: "M_facial expressions" Material is applied to both Element 2 and Element 4

Reproducible with: 2018.4.22f1, 2019.3.12f1, 2020.1.0b8, 2020.2.0a10
Could not test with: 2017.4.40f1 because of missing Prefab

Note: Once material is applied on Element 4, Element 2 material cannot be changed.

    Any chance we can get this Implemented in 2019.4.X ? Literally lost hours of time trying to figure out a workaround thinking there was something wrong with my export from blender. I understand VRC isnt exactly using the latest and greatest, but this bug is a huge pain and the solution seems to already be known.

    @g6qwerty
    "Yeah this but shows up when animating 2 and 4 material slots, (...)"
    So... just "this"?
    Because it's already talking about animating slots #2 and #4, and as i specified, happens not only in recording.

    Yeah this but shows up when animating 2 and 4 material slots, so you have slots 0 to 4.
    So when you animate slot 4 it instead puts slot 4 where slot 2 should be and doesn't animate slot 4 at all when you play back the animation. Running Unity 2019.4.31f

    Alright, i just checked it in 2021.2.0a17 and i can confirm that it's fixed - at least my case is.
    Now... where are my backports? :P
    Come on, it can't be that hard. The fix was 'in review' for a month, and i don't recall it ever being 'in progress' in the 2 weeks after i revived it despite checking regularly.

    I just wanna add that this bug report is kinda too specific.
    It doesn't only work incorrectly during "recording" an animation, but i think always when you try to change material #2 and #4 (counting from 0) at the same time. From my workaround attempts it also appears when you try to change them in separate animation files on separate layers of the animator.
    I hope it'll all get fixed together.

    My version of the events is described in your internal bugtracker case 1324418.

    Overall, I'm glad this issue has moved forward, and i hope to see backported fixes for v2019, since that's what VRChat may soon be using, and ChilloutVR uses already, and these are the places where this fix will help hundreds of avatar creators.

    This issue also persists when playing the animation.
