New projects with Editor versions that do not support Hierarchy V2 are opened without the Hierarchy window when the previous opened project had Hierarchy V2 enabled
Unity: Hierarchy V2
As Designed
6.2.X
6.0.X
This is an unfortunate but totally expected side-effect of the layout system being shared between projects. Older versions of Unity have no graceful ways of figuring out what a window it doesn't know about should be replaced by.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new Unity project using 6000.4.0a1 Editor version and Universal 3D template
Enable Hierarchy V2 (Unity > Settings > General > Use new Hierarchy window)
Close the Editor
Create a new Unity project with the Editor version that does not support Hierarchy V2
Observe the Editor
Actual results: No Hierarchy window is opened
Expected results: Old Hierarchy window is opened
Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.59f1, 6000.2.7f1
Can’t test with versions: 6000.3.0b4 (supports Hierarchy V2)
Tested on (OS): MacOS Silicon Sequoia 15.6.1
Notes:
The user has to manually open the Hierarchy window or reset the Editor layout to default
