Reproduction steps

1. Download and install the Second Life 7.1.13.13816156139 viewer (https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/releases/tag/Second_Life_Release%23d8fa590-2025.03).
2. Log in to the viewer and create a prim.
3. Edit a new prim -> Enable the ‘Hide Water’ setting (Texture tab).
4. Open the Inventory and drag and drop any material to any face of the prim.
5. Observe the Texture tab of this face (Select Face enabled).

Actual result:
Drag and drop of material from inventory onto the face of an object that has "Hide Water" enabled does not disable the "Hide Water" setting for that object's face.
Also, the parameter ‘Glow’ is not available for editing.

Expected result:
Drag and drop of material from inventory onto the face of an object that has "Hide Water" enabled should be disabled per face.

Additional information:
This issue was found during ticket verification (#3512) in the scope of IQA #464.
This issue is reproduced on Win11 and OSX.

This issue is not reproduced on the current release 7.1.12.13550888671 build (The feature is not implemented yet).

Also, if the Textures tab editing tab is open during the transfer, the applied material is not immediately displayed there. You need to reselect the object's face.

This issue is not reproduced with pictures (Photo Album, Textures). In this case, the "Hide Water" setting is disabled for that object's face.

@Geenz please confirm expected behavior, warning says about texture, bumpiness, and shininess, but not about PBR. If it should affect PBR as well, should notification also be updated?

[maxim-productengine]

or maybe we should disable drag'n'drop for water exclusion surface?

[DmitrySProductengine]

Investigated QA in the scope of IQA #471.
Also, this issue is reproduced when setting the Water Exclusion Surface via an LSL script.

Steps to repro:

1. Download and install the Second Life 7.1.13.13816156139 viewer (https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/releases/tag/Second_Life_Release%23d8fa590-2025.03).
2. Log in to the viewer and create a prim.
3. Add any PBR material to any face of a new prim.
4. Create a "water_exclusion_surface script" by adding the following script to a new script in your Inventory.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // Make this prim a water_exclusion_surface.
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_BUMP_SHINY, ALL_SIDES, PRIM_SHINY_NONE, PRIM_BUMP_NONE,
            PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, PRIM_TEXGEN, ALL_SIDES, PRIM_TEXGEN_DEFAULT,
            PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0]);
        
        // Delete ourselves from the prim; we are no longer needed.
        llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
    }
}

5. Make a water_exclusion_surface object by dragging the script from inventory onto a new prim.
6. Observe the face with a PBR material.

A bug was also filed for similar behavior with media - #3804

@kylelinden please see akleschev and maxim's comments above. Would you like to go ahead with disabling PBR material drag-and-drop for objects with Hide Water enabled in order to resolve this issue?
