[Undo] Undoing prefab instancing leaves ghost objects in scene that throw ArgumentNullExceptions and crash editor when dragged to project view
How to reproduce:
# Create new project
# Create a cube object in scene
# Make it a prefab by dragging it from hierarchy into project view
# Create a few instances in the scene by dragging prefab from project view into scene
# Delete the prefab in project view
# Create a new cube in the scene, rename it to Cube (exact name as the created prefab in step 2)
# Drag the new cube from hierarchy into project view
# Observe Hierarchy - all prefab instances object names change to Cube
# Ctrl + z to undo these actions
# Observe in hierarchy and scene that ghost objects are left, that show empty inspector and throw exception in console when selected
# Dragging such object into project view crashes the editor
Expected result: No errors thrown/editor doesn't crash
Error:
ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
