Resolution Note (2020.2.X):
"Expected result: while the camera is moving frames are drawn without clearing the last drawn frame"
This is NOT an expected behavior. The contents of backbuffer are unspecified after the frame ended. Some apis allows you to have "whatever was rendered in the previous frame" but this is not a general behavior, so backbuffer must be cleared at frame start. It is different in editor simply because we render to RenderTexture, not to the screen. If the same is done in player (but you need an explicit RT, sure) than it will work as expected
