Additional context After watching the tutorials i wanted to try around in the editor to get a feel. I deleted everything from the basic tutorial scenery, i also deleted the scenes in the assets. Added 2 empty entities in the current main scene, made 1 cube with no material in the assets, 1 plane with metalic blue material and added both to the scene. Then i added a directional light and a point light. The directional light was repositioned and then the Point lights radius was adjusted with the mouse first, but it was to wild of an increase, so i typed a number instead, 10. I noticed that the alt key did not allow me to orbit in the Viewport when alt was pressed either outside of before the Viewport focus/under mouse. Then i hit Ctrl+S and the bug popped. I thought its because the cube without material, deleted it, tried again, same problem. Then i deleted some assets , same problem still.

Hi @MCVenor. Which tutorial were you following? At what point in the tutorial did you delete everything?

[MCVenor]

The tutorial has no part in this as in the tutorial did not instruct me to delete everything. This is just to give a context where i got the initial scene/project from
This is the tutorial in question LINK In this tutorial we create a project from a predefined selection

Edit: ups didnt awnser the second question. "At what point in the tutorial did you delete everything?" I was not coding along in the tutorials, the project as strict made from the predefined selection (min 1:45 in First Video). So at no point did i delete everything during the tutorial. It was just make new -> delete all -> save crash, in a nutshell.

Hi @MCVenor, I completely understand the tutorial didn't instruct you to delete everything.

The exception is likely a result of something not properly being cleaned up after it was deleted. So, knowing what you'd done before deleting will help speedup the process of isolating the problem.

I'm able to recreate this bug. I run into it quiet frequently.
