  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2021.3.22f1):

    The warning is not shown anymore. The problem is already resolved in newer versions thanks to better implementation of EditorActivityTracker lifecycle.

    This will happen for me when anything with a canvas renderer is selected, not just a Canvas object.
