"Unsupported type LocalizedString" while changing unrelated inspector values

Hey there,

Couldn't find a known issue for this so thought would post in case there's an obvious solution (not sure if I'm doing something unexpected or if it's a bug in the localization package).

I haven't narrowed down exactly what conditions are needed, but sometimes changing values in an object's inspector (eg. an object that has a LocalizedString property, but I'm changing an unrelated "Color" property) will print out a lot of logs like:

Code (csharp):

1. Unsupported type LocalizedString
2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)
3.  

Not sure if it's because LocalizedString isn't meant to be serialized (though it has a custom property drawer so surely it is...), or if something else is going on. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Geordie

 

Hard to tell, haven't narrowed down exactly which prefabs/SO actually cause the logs (can't seem to get it to happen again, though have seen it on multiple machines in the past).

I did a text search of our project for "Unsupported type" and couldn't find anything, so seems unlikely it's something we're doing, although I did find a few references when searching the Unity CS Reference source (though couldn't immediately see how any would bubble up to that exact error log).

Will try to keep an eye out for the next time it happens so can try to actually repro properly

 

Getting this as well, red error in console but game runs fine in the editor without errors.
Seems to be related to having a script with a LocalizedString definition, but it compiles and the localization works just fine.
The error message only says "UnityEditor.EditorApplication.Internal_CallGlobalEventHandler()" with no line number or anything.

 

I will see if I can reproduce it in a minimal project, the one I'm having it in right now is huge.

 

Just a quick update: I have not yet been able to reproduce this in a small project.

 

I had a similar issue and was able to repro it reliably. I filed a bug report (IN-50574)

Code (Boo):

I'm seeing this one as well. I believe it has to do with using Generics and Serialization.



ObservableField is a generic class that takes any type. I pass in primitives, GameObjects subclasses of Monobehaviors as the type parameter.

The objects serialize correctly but I get these errors arbitrarily while running the game from editor.
