Summary
Initially, we didn’t know what this button did. Most of the times it didn’t work either, so we never use it. It would be useful to have it in place when we need it to be accessible rather than a popup, because with muscle memory while working on details panel we want popups to go away so we click whatever.
Recently though, we noticed this button is very destructive on our project. It commits the entirety of the project (as if resave all has been pressed), and treats all assets as new ones. This, in turn causes revision control to add all new assets ON TOP of what exists in revision control (for all assets that have been deleted from the repo, but exist in the current branch). So its not only distracting, its also destructive for large teams working on large games.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
UI/Tools
Steps to Reproduce
The button appears to us at random times so I don’t have a repro for our exact case, but I ll make a fictional repro to hopefully show the workflow that makes it pop up:
Open a large project
import an 8k image and leave it in the project
Run live edit
Expected Result
Validation stops live edit from running, on message log, at the end of the sentence there is a button that says “fix” and conforms the texture.
Observed Result
Validation stops live edit from running, pop up appears that asks to fix validations errors, does nothing, then commits the entire project to revision control.
