Custom projection matrix breaks the shadow

[Th3V1kt0r]

System Information

• Ogre Version: master (10.02.2022)
• Operating System / Platform: Win7
• RenderSystem: OpenGL
• GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Detailled description

If I use my own projection matrix, then the shadow is displayed incorrectly.

You can also see the error if you take Sample_ShadowMapDebugging and use Ogre's own projection matrix as custom projection matrix.

For example like this:

It seems that the shadow camera does not work properly when the projection matrix is custom. If I define the projection matrix as not custom, then the shadow looks reasonable. Example of how it works for me:
