Unity Issue Tracker - AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing throws warnings when called from script

Fixed

2023.2.X

2023.1.X

2023.1.0a8 onwards

All assets that are created in between start- and stop-asset editing are not fully imported before the call to StopAssetEditing. This is by design. If certain asset database API's are called before the call to StopAssetEditing and with assets that are not yet fully imported, you will experience unexpected behavior. An update to the documentation for StartAssetEditing and StopAssetEditing has been submitted as a response to this bug.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the user’s attached project
2. In the Editor window menu, select BugRepro > DoestWork

Expected result: No Console warnings
Actual result: Warning “Empty track found while loading timeline. It will be removed.” in the console

Reproducible with: 2023.1.0a8, 2023.1.0a13
Not reproducible with: 2020.3.40f1, 2021.3.11f1, 2022.1.19f1, 2022.2.0b10, 2023.1.0a6
