Light Entity doesn't always render when it is parented to another entity.

I frequently observed that: Light Entity doesn't always render when it is parented to another entity.

You need to unlock/lock the parent to see it appears.

The light works during the session where you create it. But if you go to another domain, reload the content (possibly exit interface too) and go back, then it often happens to not be rendered. When this happens, the light entity is not visible by create app at all. I noticed this the first time at least 2 years ago (It tooks a moment to figure that it was systematically related to the parenting)

This happens enough often that I completely stop using light entity if I need it parented. (I use instead a script that generate a local light entity. This always works)

I would have sworn there was an issue for this but I can't find any 🤷 But yea, well known and annoying issue and it actually also happens on particles and (I think) on material entities, The fireplace in NDN world goes out all the time. One way to get it back is to jiggle the parent entity, I.e. move even a tiny bit.

Dev meeting: Issue seems sporadic and inconsistent.

Seems like a server side issue since I am very sure the light was off for everyone.

Probably, the api is not able to retrieve the missing light entity. it's like if it wasn't exist.

I have a light that is always doing this. I can provide servers json if someone wants to investigate. (just ping me)
