Switching Camera Modes Affects Camera even when set to Scriptable

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

  1. Open up a blank base-plate and set the current camera’s CameraType to “Scriptable”
  2. Press Esc to open up the settings menu and change the Camera Mode.

Expected Behavior
The camera should not move or be affected by the camera mode change while it is set to scriptable.

Actual Behavior


The camera snaps to the player, breaking any games with custom coded camera angles. As it stands right now, this would theoretically allow players to easily break games that have any sort of custom code for the camera.

Workaround
So far as I can tell there is no simple workaround.
