Regression
No
Out of memory crash when repeatedly entering/exiting Play Mode while increasing a Mesh's Submesh Count
How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "Case_1258637" and load Scene "SampleScene"
2. Start repeatedly entering and exiting Play Mode
Reproducible with: 2018.4.28f1, 2019.4.12f1, 2020.1.9f1, 2020.2.0b7, 2021.1.0a1
First lines of the stack trace:
0x00007ff65209bde4 (Unity) DualThreadAllocator<DynamicHeapAllocator>::Allocate
0x00007ff652095f05 (Unity) MemoryManager::Allocate
0x00007ff652095ddc (Unity) MemoryManager::Allocate
0x00007ff652095ddc (Unity) MemoryManager::Allocate
0x00007ff65209ad1c (Unity) malloc_internal
Notes:
1. As more memory is used, entering/exiting starts taking more time, until the Editor/the entire machine starts freezing up and eventually crashes
2. Submesh Count is preserved after exiting Play Mode, however, it resets to the initial value upon restarting the Editor
3. Freezing becomes very noticeable after ~20-25 times of entering and exiting Play Mode
4. Often freezes the entire machine, not just the Editor

Resolution Note:
The editor is running out of memory because triangles are added to the sharedMesh and will therefore persist after Play Mode is exited.
