Prefab editing, scene view does not show the prefab but actual scene ?

I am not sure when and why this happens, but sometimes when I try and edit my prefab the scene view does not show the prefab content, but just regular scene content.

When this happens, I can see that I am in prefab editing mode because everything else looks ok, the hierarchy shows the prefab content only etc.

Only way to fix this is to restart Unity or (not 100% sure) but close scene view and open it up again.

Has anyone had similar issue? This is kind of bug that is difficult to constantly reproduce, because well.. if you restart Unity, it works as normal. So sending bug report is not going to help..

So weird and annoying...

Using Unity 2019.3.3f1 but I am pretty sure that I saw this happening in 2019.3.1 and 2019.3.2 as well.

 

Go to [Edit -> Project Settings -> Editor], and there is a field where you can set which scene is in the background while you are editing prefabs. Just remove the scene so the value is "None", and you will have an empty scene while you edit prefabs.


If that doesn't work, it's probably worth a bug report.

 

Thanks. Strange. The fact that I never knew this existed means I have never set them. But will check it first anyway.

 

I have checked and the prefeb editing environments were not set. They are empty.

So... this seems like a bug.. I don't even know how to reproduce it.. it just happens suddenly sometimes.. I have to close scene view and reopen it to make it work again. Super annoying...

 

I wonder if the issue would go away if you make an empty scene and set it as your prefab-editing scene.

 

I just tried this, but it does not work...

 

same issue in 3.4f1, and 3.3 and 3.2.

it's really annoying bug. the reason i upgrade Unity so often is that hope new version can fix it.

i found a post mentioned the same issue ,and it said the bug some how related to DOTs, so i try to upgrade my

- Burst to 1.3.0 preview.9
- Entities to 0.7.0 preview.19.

no luck with that.

the last version Entities is 0.8.0 preview but it's not fit my plugin. so i can't try that version.

 

Also happens for me sometimes, reopening Scene window fixes the issue.

Unity 2019.3.10

 

This is still not fixed for Unity 2019.3.13f1

This is REALLY annoying bug. Please fix!

 

Do you have link to the post that you found?

 

I have actually reported this as a bug : case 1248712

This has to be fixed, I can't close scene view and reopen every time I edit a prefab!
