Water in HDRP Sample Scene Freezes When Selecting Dropdown in Inspector
Unity: SRP Templates
As Designed
6.2.X
6.1.X
6.0.X
Simulation is paused during dropdown selection in order to save on performance.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new HDRP project
Import Water Samples from the HDRP package samples
Enable Water in the Quality > HDRP > Water
Open a sample scene (e.g., "Rain")
In the Hierarchy, click on the "Ocean" GameObject
In the Inspector, select and expand a dropdown
Observe the water behaviour in the Scene View
Actual results: The water freezes/pauses when a dropdown is selected in the Inspector
Expected results: The water should continue moving even when a dropdown is expanded, similar to the behaviour seen when interacting with checkboxes and sliders
Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.48f1, 6000.1.0f1, 6000.2.0a9
Tested on (OS): Ubuntu 24
Notes: This behaviour is inconsistent with other Inspector UI elements; water should not pause unless a scene-affecting change is triggered
