Description

Adding source length to a point light that is set to stationary or static will cause shadows to build incorrectly on movable objects.

Working as expected in 4.18 CL# 3832480

Found in 4.19 CL# 4033788, 4.20 Preview 2 CL# 4121666

This is a regression.

  5. Add some source radius and length to the point light
  6. Rotate the point light so that it is horizontal 
  7. Build lighting
