TextMesh Pro Font asset reloading issue when switching between scenes

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to TMP 1.4.1 and have been experiencing a reloading issue when switching scenes. See screenshot below:



This text should read "New Player Event." But each time I enter this scene (and other scenes alike), characters become blocks for a fraction of a second (short but quite noticeable). It happens both in Unity and in the build with TMP 1.4.1 (the previous version didn't have this issue), and it's worse if the game runs slow on a low-end device.

Has anyone encountered similar issues?

 

See if the following could be the culprit.



Disable the above to see if the behavior changes.
