[4.8 -> 4.9] Light only casts shadow when mesh selected in editor

I updated a simple project from 4.8 to 4.9. The only issue I got is, that a spot light doesn’t cast a shadow of one mesh anymore. The spot light is inside a stove and should cast a shadow from the grid from the stove.
At runtime the shadow isn’t cast only when I select the stove mesh in the editor. That’s strange. How to fix that?

The spot light is behind a glass material, maybe I have to enable some “translucent shadow cast” option somewhere?

I use dynamic lights only. All lights are moveable, static lights are disabled.

In 4.8 it worked…

What if you remove the spotlight and add a new one in?

Same problem.

Same problem here, only cast shadows when I select the lightpoint. But the rest of the scene works just fine.

Good to see I’m not the only one

check the material glass with both sides and will be all OK

Yep, that’s it. Thank you so much
