This is a rather old bug and it sure looks like it doesn't occur anymore. Since it's been some time since a crash like this has been reported, it seems it's been fixed some release ago and I'm marking as such.
If it does still occur, we can reopen this bug report or open a new one. ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity Milestone: 7.3.3 => None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
