Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-158184)

Description

Discarding Actor while it is selected on the outliner may cause a crash.

This may be caused by operations from C++ not being listed in the UNDO list, which may refer to unreferenced objects during garbage collection.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the attached project.
Run editor utility widget `/Game/DeleteActorのEditorUtilityWidget`.
Press "DeleteSelectedActor" button.
Open menu [Edit]->[Undo History]
Select and delete "Add Actor" in Undo History list.
Execute console command "obj gc" in output log window.

Then, cause crash.
