Crash in Blueprint when clicking on Component variable name that remains after Component was deleted

Crash in Blueprint when clicking on Component variable name that remains after Component was deleted

Description

This is a common crash in 4.16 and trending in the 4.17 previews. It can be reproduced by clicking on the name of a variable that remains listed in a Blueprint after the associated component has already been deleted.

User Descriptions

  • Cleaning blueprints
  • Editor crashed when trying to remove a user-created actor component from a actor when the actor component was already deleted in the editor.
    -Created actor component blueprint
    -Created actor blueprint and added actor component to it.
    -Made a change to actor component (added variables set to public and recompiled)
    -Recompiled actor with actor component
    -Deleted actor component (force delete and closed out of all other blueprint editor windows)
    -Opened actor blueprint window, saw actor component was still there. Tried to delete it and editor crashes.

Source Context

 35       		if (const UStructProperty* StructProperty = Cast<const UStructProperty>(Property))
   36       		{
   37       			Definition.ObjectTypeName = StructProperty->Struct->GetFName();
   38       		}
   39       		else if (const UObjectPropertyBase* ObjectProperty = Cast<const UObjectPropertyBase>(Property))
   40       		{
   41       			Definition.ObjectTypeName = ObjectProperty->PropertyClass->GetFName();
   42       		}
   43       		else if(const UArrayProperty* ArrayProperty = Cast<const UArrayProperty>(Property))
   44       		{
   45       			Definition.PropertyTypeName = ArrayProperty->Inner->GetClass()->GetFName();
   46       			if (const UStructProperty* InnerStructProperty = Cast<const UStructProperty>(ArrayProperty->Inner))
   47       			{
   48 ***** 				Definition.ObjectTypeName = InnerStructProperty->Struct->GetFName();
   49       			}
   50       		}
   51       		return Definition;
   52       	}
