    What went wrong that allowed a major project breaking bug to make it into 2021 LTS?

    Hello andymads,
    First of all, we want to apologize for introducing this regression. We understand that it affected a lot of our users. While these type of regressions are uncommon, sometimes it happens. To answer your question, this was caused by a missed backport (the fix was composed of two parts). We learned from it and adjusted our processes against LTS backports so it doesn't happen again.

    Not that this situation couldn't happen for UI Toolkit, but this specific issue was for UGUI.
    The whole team learned from that incident though.

    Double ouch!!
    I didn't expected this to be a uGUI issue.

    I read "UI Elements" in the issue and was thinking about UIToolkit because it was called UIElements in early versions.
