Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 74), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-01 06:11, hash: rBc74626c54fad
Worked: Blender 2.79b and before
Short description of error
When creating new Render Layer nodes in the Compositor, Blender no longer increases the user count of the scene datablock, leaving Blender in an unstable state. When saving and reloading the scene, the user count has magically increased and is correct. Also, on a side note, in the 3D View header, the user count button becomes clickable. In 2.79 it is disabled, which is what it should be.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Create a new scene, check use nodes in the Compositor
- Create a new Render Layer from the Add menu
- The user count of the scene datablock is still at 1
- Save the scene, and reload it
- The user count increased to 2
