UI Destroy or SetActive(false) of Worldspace Canvas with UI Children Crashes Editor

Hey I'm trying to see if this bug is reproducible for systems other than my own, currently I can crash a brand new empty project in 5.4.0f2 by putting a Canvas down, setting it to Worldspace, giving it an Image as a child, and then either using Destroy or SetActive(false) on the Canvas during play mode in the Editor.

The Destroy/SetActive have to be called after Awake/Start or else they'll work as intended. Setting it up so it gets destroyed or deactivated on a keypress is a good way to test.

It does not crash standalone builds and it was not an issue in 5.3.5.

 

I recommend to submit a bug-report with a minimal project to reproduce the issue. I believe most useful would be a project that is already set-up, so Unity QA only needs to press "Play" to crash the editor.

 

Yes please file a bug i believe i've tested with many projects that do exactly that and they work

 

Aaaaaaargh I wish I had seen this yesterday it would have saved me the 8 hours of figuring out how to repro it myself.
