Expected Behavior

I expect the ViewportFrame to continuously render itself after toggling the CanvasGroups visible property.

Actual Behavior

The ViewportFrame stops rendering when the parent CanvasGroups visible property is set to true.

Workaround

Currently, one workaround is to change a property of the ViewportFrame which resumes the rendering of objects.
