Description
USD lights disappears from the viewport when user switch to a render setup that is not the master layer. The lights still renders in the RenderView in its individual layer.
**Steps to reproduce the behavior:**
1. Load the lights in the USD stage. Then in the render setup, create a layer along with a collection, add the lights and a simple sphere in the collection. Switch to the layer. The lights will disappear.
2. Now start a Render preview, the lights should still render.
**Expected behavior**
User will want to check the light directions in viewport, so it is important that the lights are visible not just in the render but also the viewport.
