So much as clicking a prefab breaks component references for me. This feels like a pretty major bug...

This has now happened to me 3 times in the last year. everything behaves normally until i make a build. things behave normal in the build, i go to edit my prefab, BLAM, prefab data within the scene is lost (though not all of it for some reason). attempting to replace the data in the scene is futile, because everytime i alter my prefab, i lose my scene data. i have to rebuild my scenes. i'm able to work with my new scenes until i go to build the game again. rinse and repeat. i'm currently using 2019.3.0f1 but this has been an issue for each previous version i've used in the last year. i'm at my wits end...
