Makes 2022.3 LTS search pretty much unusable, console is infinitely spammed.

Serious bug. Cannot search in hierarchy anymore. How could you have released 2023.1.3f1 wirh such a showstopping bug? Two weeks without a fix already!

I've stumbled across this issue when editing prefabs in context as well. It happens with any kind of prefab, including empty GameObjects turned into prefabs in scenes that contain at least one enabled camera.

I'd like to second Alec100_94's comment: I'm experiencing this issue doing in-place edits of prefabs. As far as I can tell, it happens with pretty much any prefab regardless of content.

This also seems to be an issue in 2022.3 LTS, with editing prefabs in-place. The console will be spammed with errors and the screen will go black (with Opaque Texture). Can't return back to normal scene view without entering play mode, or changing a setting on the render pipeline asset.
