Undocking Search window after selecting Builtins/Reports throws NullReferenceException

Unity: Editor Window Management

This issue has been closed as a duplicate of:

Docking the Search window with builtin selected causes “No measure function set in this node's config” error and Scene View goes blank

Fixed

6.3.X

6000.3.1f1

Steps to reproduce:

Open a Unity project
Window → Search → New Window
Immediately dock the Search window
Ensure Toggle Search Query Builder Mode is ON
Click Toggle Saved Search Panel
In Builtins/Reports, select any option
Undock the Search window

Actual results:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEditor.Search.SearchQueryBuilderView.OnAttachToPanel (UnityEngine.UIElements.AttachToPanelEvent evt) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Modules/QuickSearch/Editor/UITK/SearchQueryBuilderView.cs:73)
UnityEngine.UIElements.EventCallbackFunctor`1[TEventType].Invoke (UnityEngine.UIElements.EventBase evt) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Modules/UIElements/Core/Events/EventCallback.cs:64)

Expected results: Undocking should not throw; SearchQueryBuilderView should reattach cleanly

Reproducible with versions: 6000.3.0b1

Can’t test with versions: 6000.0.56f1, 6000.1.16f1, 6000.2.4f1, 6000.3.0a1 (No Builtin dropdown sections)

Tested on (OS): Ubuntu 22.04, macOS 15.6
