[BUG-233016] [PBR] - Switching Reflections from Disabled to Static modes enables Realtime instead

[sl-service-account]

What just happened?

When reflection probes are set to Disabled, and back to a Static mode, Realtime reflections is enabled.

What were you doing when it happened?

Set Reflections to Disabled. Set Reflections to Static Only. Observe in a reflective surface that Realtime reflections are enabled instead.

What were you expecting to happen instead?

The correct reflection mode to be enabled.

Other information

Also, once Realtime reflections are enabled, the viewer is stuck in this mode unless you disable reflections. Setting a static mode again repros the above. Restarting the viewer with a static mode does enable the static modes again.

Toggling Shadows, or Ambient Occlusion has the same effect as described above.

Hightlight transparent (Ctrl+Alt+T) is also enabling Realtime Reflections.

Speaking of highlight transparent. The viewer is now fetching the water normal map correctly. The texture that is displayed with highlight transparent is still missing, though. Hence hightlight transparent has solid colors if the map isn't already cached with a regular viewer.

Tested with Second Life Project GLTF PBR Materials 7.0.0.577065 (64bit)
