 - Fix conflicts with Handles manipulation when performing a Reset in DecalComponent (case 1238833)
 - Fixed depth prepass and postpass being disabled after changing the shader in the material UI.
 - Fixed issue with sceneview camera settings not being saved after Editor restart.
+- Fixed issue when switching back to custom sensor type in physical camera settings (case 1244350).
 
 ### Changed
 - Improve MIP selection for decals on Transparents
