Issue description

When editing visual shader's flags and modes under inspector, its panel always collapse after any single value change, making the process of testing values very cumbersome. See attached video.

I tried other nested panel such as world environment, they do not suffer from this issue.

Steps to reproduce

In any new project, create a shader material then assign a new visual shader, modify its flags or modes as shown.

Minimal reproduction project

N/A, should be easy to reproduce in any project. I suspect the issue is due to visual shader recompiling after mode/flag change?

Confirmed, this happens at current master too at fc99492. Also StandardMaterial3D and ShaderMaterial seems to work normally, so looks like a VisualShader specific regression.

I did some quick check and find maybe it's because set these flags or modes will trigger a _queue_update which will call _update_shader, and it will emit change to ShaderMaterial::_shader_changed().

Relared to #74745

@jsjtxietian
Well changing the flags does change the shader so it should trigger shader change or not?
Btw changing Node3D properties such as rotation edit mode also causes the materials to fold but it does not fold Mesh resource of MeshInstance3D but it does collapse the Material (this time StandardMaterial3D). So it's not just VisualShader related.

Its a regression from #73381 cc @KoBeWi
