6.1.X

6.0.X

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Unity project
2. Open Game view window
3. In Project window, select PC_RPAsset (Assets/Settings/PC_RPAsset.asset)
4. In the Inspector window next to the "?" press on the kebab button
5. From the menu select "Reset"
6. Observe Game view and Console window

Actual results: After reset, Game view becomes black, errors are thrown in the Console, Rendering list is missing Default Renderer

Expected results: Game view shouldn't become black, no errors thrown in the Console, Rendering list shouldn't miss Default Renderer

Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.56f1, 6000.1.16f1, 6000.2.1f1, 6000.3.0a5

Tested on (OS): Windows 11, macOS Silicon, Sequoia 15.6 (M1)

Moving mouse in Game view spams errors
