Description

UserWidget animations will be ticked as part of the WidgetComponent's DrawWidgetToRenderTarget(). This will lead to a crash when we attempt to set the LastWidgetRenderTime to GetWorld()->TimeSeconds. A null check can prevent this.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a widget with an animation
Create an actor BP that adds a widget component, creates your widget, and sets it to the widget component
Make the actor BP bind an event to OnAnimationFinished and play the animation
In OnAnimationFinished, destroy the widget component
Engine will crash when animation finishes
