5.3.1:Added support for VR Application Focus. All VR Players are now forced to Run in the background

Hello,

I am trying to debug networking by having a standalone Player running and editor player running. As soon as the editor player starts, the VR app no longer runs in background, it freezes. Stopping the editor resumes the standalone player.
I am unable to debug networking. The update states the editor should force the VR app to run in background, yet it doesn't. What can I do?

I have "run in background" option checked in the player settings

This used to work in 5.3.0, though oculus...
