EditorGUILayout.EnumMaskField is misleading by stating that Enum is returned

IMGUI

-

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open attached project
2. In top menu, open window "Tools > EditorGUILayout.EnumMaskField Reports Incorrect Value"
3. In Enum dropdown, select "Two"
4. Notice that value returned by EditorGUILayout.EnumMaskField is 4 although originally enum stores 2

Note: Although this behavior is correct it is misleading. EnumMaskField returns Enum so it is expected for it to return Enum of the same type that was passed and containing all the original values. However, it returns at bitmask of selections.

Reproduced with: 5.2.4f1, 5.3.4f1, 5.4.0b13

    In the mean time, here's a workaround that fixes the field's behaviour entirely:

    While I'm sure this is probably by design and won't be fixed, I'd just like to chime in and say that I agree that it's very misleading and confusing behavior and leads to having to do more casting/conversion work than should be necessary in most cases.
