2. Open "SampleScene" Scene
3. Enter Play mode
4. Select "Rigidbody" GameObject
5. Select isKinematic property in the Inspector
6. Observe the Console logs
Expected results: The OnTriggerEnter/Exit callback does not get called and no messages are printed to the Console
Actual results: OnTriggerEnter/Exit messages are printed to the Console
Reproducible with: 2019.3.0a9, 2019.3.0b7, 2020.1.0a8

seriously guys. we now get OnTrigger events every time the isKinematic flag is touched. it is now impossible to tell reliably if an object has entered/exited a trigger. this makes SO many situations difficult or even impossible to code!
Unity should revert this change.

"Switching a kinematic object to dynamic re-inserts the object into the broadphase, producing PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_TOUCH_FOUND events instead of PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_TOUCH_PERSISTS events."
