Beware the "Look Dev" view!

I was exploring the "Window" menu and noticed a "Look Dev" view. I clicked on it, a small blank window opened on the top left of the screen and my computer completely froze. Even Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't work.

What is this view about?

 

Not sure if that's a suitable name? will it change in final?

 

Cannot do that; it doesn't freeze or crashes Unity, it freeze my computer entirely. Reporting such a bug from a new instance of Unity will be useless.

 

It works for me. Definitely a bug.

 

We'll be disabling Look Dev for 5.5 as we have some usability concerns. It should be removed from the menu soon.

 

It's a industry consistent name from film and such. So, we plan on sticking with Look Dev, from last time I checked with folk.

 

So it seems: http://www.cgchannel.com/2012/10/10-tips-for-lighting-and-look-development/

I had never heard of it before today though.

 

Ah thanks. I'm afraid said editor log is long gone now and I don't feel like to open that window again.

 

Anyway, it seems that reporting bugs doesn't work. I just reported another bug and only the title shows up. I didn't send an empty bug report.

 

Btw look dev UI text are seems bit blurred, just want to check if it's just my eyes or everyone getting blurred text in Look Dev UI?

 

Don't post private fogbugs URLs. This will allow anyone to see all your bugs, possibly with private information inside.
Posting the bug number is enough, Unity people will be able to see it with just the number.

 

Corrected. Thanks.

 

When I open that window it flashes white for a half-second and resizing the window is very laggy.

 

I have the same issue, but Unity can still see the description internally.

I asked about this issue a few days ago here, their reply was this:

I also submitted a bug-report regarding this issue, it's tracked as:
(Case 826937) Missing description in reported bug-reports

 

Well, thank you for sharing!

Is this public somewhere? Are we supposed to know?
