Render Texture is not being updated when using Camera.SetTargetBuffers
How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "SetTargetBuffers.zip"
2. Open "SampleScene" scene
3. Observe the preview of RenderTexture "TargetBufferTex" while moving the Main Camera in the scene (in the "TargetBufferCamera v" folder)
4. Change "_targetBufferCam.targetTexture = _underWaterTexture;" in the TargetBufferCam.cs with
" _targetBufferCam.SetTargetBuffers(_underWaterTexture.colorBuffer, _underWaterTexture.depthBuffer);"
5. Observe the preview of RenderTexture "TargetBufferTex" while moving the Main Camera in the scene
Expected result: RenderTexture updates
Actual result: RenderTexture does not update
Reproducible with - 2020.3.12f1, 2021.1.12f1, 2021.2.0a21
Could not test (errors) - 2018.4, 2019.4

This is the only place I've found this documented so far. Including a note that SetTargetBuffers is deprecated in URP would have been helpful.

Latest issues
- After converting a Built-in project to URP render texture related errors are spammed that can lead to Game view being rendered on top of Scene view
- UI Builder slider value lags and stutters when sliding/modifying certain property values
- "Reset UI Builder Layout" functionality inconsistently changes Canva Size when "Match Game View" is enabled/disabled
- Texture Import Warnings are obscured by other Terrain Layer options in the Inspector
- Burst Inspector middle divider is jittering when resized with the Burst Inspector window docked
Resolution Note:
The fix was too prone to breaking current working solutions and fixing this correctly would take too long while we are moving away from this code with the transition to URP.
