Bevy version and features

What you did

  • Load an asset using AssetServer::load.
  • Wait for it to load.
  • Use AssetServer::get_strong_handle to get a completely separate handle to the asset.
  • Drop the handle you got from the AssetServer.
  • Reload the asset using AssetServer::load.

What went wrong

  • The AssetServer reloads the asset, even the asset was never dropped.
