Am I using GIProbes wrong?

Differences are not very noticeable and it drops framerates by 10-20.

Hid them for now.

For some reason GIProbe does not work when it is a grandchild of scene's root node. If this issue is unavoidable, well, just put them under the root node. Anyway, it works!

It seems GIProbe node's position in the scene tree matters.

I'm not sure if this is intended behavior if it is this is a documentation issue.

TODO:

• Read up GIProbe docs again. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/3d/gi_probes.html https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_giprobe.html
• If there's really no mention of this quirk (?) post it on issue board of Godot Engine repo with the above test project. Maybe one of the developers will see if this is a bug or a doc issue.
