    I'm using Unity 2021.3.7f1
    I get this error whenever I try to right click to get the creation context menu in my scene hierarchy. It doesn't seem to have any indicators for where in custom editor code it might be getting this exception. Any ideas for how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Did you find a solution? I get the same problem when updating from 2020 to 2021.3.7f1.
    I tried to update to 2021.3.9f1 but the problem still occurs.
    I found on the web some posts about uninstalling TextMeshPro: it works but when reinstalling it, the problem occurs again.
    Thanks

    EDIT:
    Finally, I found that an Editor script from on old asset was causing this strange bug.
    No idea why. I found this Editor script when removing all my Unity assets one by one...
