Missing Profiler.EndSample (BeginSample and EndSample count must match): OutlinePass

[Delt06]

How to reproduce:

• Open the Outline.URP project
• Open Profiler window
• Look at the console

The console becomes filled with these error messages:

Missing Profiler.EndSample (BeginSample and EndSample count must match): OutlinePass
Previous 5 samples:
	RenderTexture.SetActive
	OutlinePass
	Outline-256
	JobAlloc.Grow
	RenderLoop.CleanupNodeQueue
In the scope:
	OutlinePass
	Outline-256
	Render Camera
	UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll!UnityEngine.Rendering::RenderPipelineManager.DoRenderLoop_Internal() [Invoke]
[Invoke]
	PlayerLoop

Non matching Profiler.EndSample (BeginSample and EndSample count must match): OutlinePass
Previous 5 samples:
	Graphics.DrawProcedural
	RenderTexture.SetActive
	Graphics.DrawProcedural

	Render Camera
	UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll!UnityEngine.Rendering::RenderPipelineManager.DoRenderLoop_Internal() [Invoke]

	Main Thread

Was able to reproduce in the Outline.URP project with 2019.4.17f1 and in a project that imports the package from npm with 2020.3.0f1.

Looks like a bug from URP.
Not sure whether something can be done aside from removing the ProfilerScope from OutlinePass.

Yes, I've spent some time on investigation and it seems to be an URP issue. At least I wasn't able to fix it on my side.

I have the same issue using these packages version:

"com.unityfx.outline": "0.8.4",
"com.unityfx.outline.urp": "0.4.0",

But the issue doesn't exist if I go back to the version 0.3.0 of the com.unityfx.outline.urp package. So that's what I did!

Same issue and same solution here as well.

Should be fixed in v0.8.5.

Should be fixed in v0.8.5.

Not fixed in latest. Issue is appearing on Mac platform, but not on Windows.
