    I'm getting this strange null exception, not really sure if it's a 2019.3 issue, a Linux issue, or an HDRP issue.

    This is caused by the code:
    Code (CSharp):
    1.         if (myCamera != null)
    2.         {
    3.             myCamera.RemoveAllCommandBuffers();
    4.         }
    5.  
    Edit:
    Seems to have been fixed by also checking if myCamera.commandBufferCount > 0 before removing command buffers

    I was wrong, that didn't fix it. I'm still getting that null exception in _unity_self whenever I remove command buffers

    Could you please submit a bug report with a minimal reproduction project?

    Looking at the stacktrace, it seems like you actually have a null CommandBuffer attached to the camera - the null isn't referring to the camera variable.

    Sorry the error message isn't very helpful - a bug report would still be useful to help us improve this. Not sure how/why a null CommandBuffer would be attached to the camera, or even if that's something Unity should let you do.

    It is only happening when a Scriptable Object(SO) is visible in the Inspector. If I do not have a SO visible in Inspector, I do not have that issue.

    Yes, I get the same error when a gameobject's script containing an array of SO's is displayed in the inspector. I changed it to a List instead of an array and that seems to have solved the problem.
