Weird UI Bugs after updating to Unity 5.2.1

After updating to Unity 5.2.0 we didn’t really have any issues, but as of 5.2.1 we had some weird UI bugs that I can’t figure out.

I’ll attach a screenshot below to show some of the odd behavior. To explain, we have UI elements, such as Images, that have their image property set to “None” but they are pulling images for their field when they should just be a blank space with a color since it is none. At least that’s how it used to work…

The space behind “Enter Session Name” is supposed to be plain orange but has that image there.

Also we got this strange warped text popping up on our startup screen, also a screenshot of that below. Some of it is upside down, and has characters we don’t use, and is tied to an Image object. It could be the same bug, it could just be pulling a font image file or something along those lines but this seems very odd to me, and I can’t seem to find a way to fix it.

I tried removing the image component and adding a new one to see if this would reset it, but it still pulls another image when it’s set to none.

Right now it looks like we may have to roll back to an older unity version like 5.1 or possibly 5.2.0 but please let me know if anyone has experienced anything like this or has an ideas.

Thank you!

In the Image (Script) options, set Material to Sprites-Default. This resolved the issue for me.

This appears to be fixed in 5.2.1p3…Finally

I have found the same bug applied in UI DropDownList. Changing the ItemBackground image in the template to Tiled and image SliderHandle will do a workaround.
