WTH scenes activate when I edit them?

[devedsmith (David Smith)]

This appears to be a really old issue/request.

Add toggle to scene editor to enable/disable live preview with default to OFF

While I like the new scene editor, it’s IMO a absolute no-go to apply the scene states automatically when you edit it. Just imagine you have a scene “away mode” that turns all the lights and devices off, turns on the alarm and what not. Now imagine you try to edit this scene at night and boom, lights are out, TVs are out and the alarm goes off while somebody tried to walk to the light switch and came across a motion sensor. So applying scene states live automatically is IMO a veeeeeeery bad idea…

Not sure why this is still being talked about after three years.
