Blender Version
Broken: 2.93 Daily 6.4.2021
Short description of error
Material not showing in Object mode of geometry nodes Object, unless the geometry Input is joined at the top of the join node.
Working:
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create Object
Add Material
Add Geometry nodes
Add primitve node
Join Input Geometry with primitive Node
I can confirm.
In a debug build, editing the material can still lead to a crash:

Here the file I used to replicate the problem:
Confirming this as well but I would also say that geometry generated inside Geometry Nodes needs to have the material assigned to the object data not the mesh data:
Doing this fixes the issue.
@Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii) Does this crash still exist, I couldn't reproduce it. Can you give some more precise steps to reproduce the crash?
Besides that @Erindale (Erindale) provided the correct workaround that is necessary currently.
