Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-48035)

Description

This crash seems to only be reproducible using the TallGrass_01 asset in QAGame. Having other foliage assets selected sometimes prevents the crash, but usually any combination of assets plus TallGrass_01 will crash the editor when attempting to paint foliage onto a landscape.

This is a regression and does not happen in 4.16.3
Preparing to test in Main.

Steps to Reproduce

Open QAGame
Shift + 3 to enable landscape mode
Set the Section Size of the new landscape to 7x7 Quads and click Create
Shift + 4 to enable foliage mode
In the content browser, search for TallGrass_01 static mesh
Drag TallGrass_01 into the foliage type panel
LMB drag across the landscape to paint the foliage

Result: Editor crashes immediately.
Expected Result: Editor paints the selected grass asset cleanly onto the landscape.
