Description

As title says. Trying to edit a DLSF to display in the scene composer and editing the "Shadow Z Fade Length" field changes nothing visually and resets to 0.0 when I select some other element that opens in the Properties panel and then select DLSF again. This looks like a broken getter/setter in whatever node class is responsible for DLSF to me.

Research direction

Start by locating the node class responsible for DirectionalLightShadowFilter in the Scene Composer and inspect the getter/setter for the "Shadow Z Fade Length" property. Reproduce the edit, selection change, and reset behavior; done means the value persists, displays when the filter is reselected, and changes the scene visually.
