Automatic changes to our nested prefabs - without modifying them at all

    Hi,

    Our team has experienced automatic changes in some of our prefabs. It happens every time we save a scene and commit to Git, even if we never touched those prefabs. They are nested prefabs, but it looks like it isn't really changing anything, just moving some paths and IDs around.

    It is quite annoying, especially since our artists get confused whenever they have to commit to source control.

    Thanks for the links. The bug is very annoying and time-consuming (we have to be very aware of when we save, because hitting Ctrl+S can sometimes take multiple minutes due to the re-serialization), but hopefully it will get fixed eventually.

    Initial fix is in 2020.1, but it will be backported to 2019 and maybe 2018, not sure about the last one

    We are currently using 2019.2.1. I think it's too risky for us right now to upgrade to 2020.

    I agree, wait for the fix to be backported

    Hello again. Can you specify what version of 2019.2 (if any) has received the fix?
