    Found a quicker workaround, just re-select the current Layout.

    For me this affected regular Play mode when using the mouse to click the Play button as well. Generated a LOT of console errors many of which mentioning UIToolkit and TextCore.

    The workaround (changing Editor font to System, thanks HIBBYGAMES) fixes this in 6.2 (6000.2.6) which is good enough for me.

    Thank you for this, although for me I had to go to Edit > Preferences > General, rather than "Unity > Settings > General"

    work around: go to Unity > Settings > General, and change Editor Font from “Inter (Default)” to “System Font”
