    I get following error occasionally out of the blue. I am assuming this is a bug in Unity 4.6 beta, and will be fixed in final release. Thanks

    Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.

    I get this as well when running unit tests, which instantiate and close UI prefabs.

    I'm assuming you've tried to search for this bug in the bug data base or at least have reported it through the bug reporter so we know about it?

    if not please do so then it can be fixed for final release.

    I am also getting this issue. It occurs when I DestroyImmediate on a GameObject in Edit mode, if that GameObject has any child with the ScrollRect component.

    I'll take this chance to add that the documentation's vague suggestion that "it's not recommended to use DestroyImmediate" is extremely unhelpful.

    I'm getting it too, in Unity 5.0.1

    It's happening when calling DestroyImmediate() or Destroy() on a game object in the scene, in the scope of a CustomInspector's OnInspectorGUI

    I was also using the PrefabUtility.ReplacePrefab, PrefabUtility.ReconnectToLastPrefab, PrefabUtility.RevertPrefabInstance, and EditorUtility.SetDirty functions. I don't know if that's at all relevant.
