Unity Editor crashes when I click on a .mat

Question

This is a strange one. I've looked everywhere for a question about this but I swear there are none.

For some reason, only happening in the past few days, whenever I click on a .mat (or any gameObject that has a material/texture), Unity crashes, with no explanation. I'm completely stuck.

I managed to temporarily fix it yesterday by re-importing a random asset I was using, but even then it crashed and then started working again on a re-start. Once I'd close that instance of Unity, the problem would reoccur.

Any have this happen to them? Any way to fix it?

Thanks a lot for your time.

I've found a workaround; if I change the editors rendering to 'Wireframe', click on a gameObject that has a .mat, and then change it back to 'Texture', it will work fine until I close Unity and reopen it, in which I have to do the same again.

Not ideal though...

Thanks for the workaround. Same problem, 3 years on, although $$anonymous$$e appears to be the result of using Android Native plugin.
