    Still the case in 2021.3.10f1. Had to modify many plugins and scripts in order to use wantsToQuit.

    Can confirm this on 2020.2.0b11
    Such a crazy bug, it makes wantsToQuit useless and means we need to modify all plugins that use OnApplicationQuit.

    How is this not considered a regression?

    Application.wantsToQuit does not work in editor, only in standalone.

    I can confirm the issue. Looks like it stops working when you change to a different scene too.
