Regression
Yes
Older prefabs are not serialized to text when upgrading the project with "Asset Serialization" set to "Force Text"
How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "PrefabUpgradeSerialization.zip"
2. In Project window, search for "Tile0"
3. Open the "Tile0.prefab" with text editor program (notepad, notepad++)
Expected result: the text contains a readable JSON
Actual result: the text contains NUL and a bunch of unreadable symbols
Reproducible with: 2019.3.0a9, 2019.3.1f1, 2020.1.0a23
Not reproducible with: 2018.4.17f1, 2019.3.0a8
Could not test with: 2017.4 (due to old/new prefab system)
Notes:
- The attached project is created in 2018.3.0f2
- Upgrading the project to 2019.3.0a8 and then to 2019.3.1f1 reproduces the bug
- Upgrading the project straight to 2019.3.0a9 does not reproduce the bug

- Mono Windows Builds don't produce full log callstacks when generating logs
- AssetBundles fail to load when running in Built Players for Mobile Devices
- UI elements with text gets bigger and grey when Player window is moved to another screen with different resolution
- System name accepts multiline text but crops it on confirmation, duplicates input, and shrinks the field when empty
- UI element scale and position are wrong in project build when DRS is changed with HDR and Software Dynamic Resolution enabled
Resolution Note:
Defaults for Prefab is now text, so this would not occur on new projects and would not be tackled in the near term, therefore closing won't fix.
