Sprite Atlases and the Memory Profiler

Hello,

We are using the Unity Memory profiler, however we noticed that each sprite is included in the atlas but also included as a single object as well, which greatly increases the memory used for textures.

Is this normal and intended?

 

According to the following post, deleting the Library folder, restarting Unity and creating a new build would solve the issue:

If this issue persists though, I would submit a bug-report following the advice at https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting because that actually sounds like a bug.

 

Clearing the Cache did not help.

Are you seeing this issue with your tool at all?
