Detailed Description

Hello.
I have a deformable object mesh in the shape of a rope. However, in the simulation, I can only see the object deform when using the debug view mode. When I turn off the debug view, the object no longer appears to deform.
debug view on:

debug view off:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. create a mesh and assign a deformable object to it
  2. click on the eye icon → show by type → Physics → Deformable Body → selected
  3. click on the object and run a simulation, it will deform
  4. click escape, rerun the simulation, the body doesnt deform
