Description

@nblauch

If you are submitting a bug report, please fill in the following details and use the tag [bug].

Describe the bug

When you pause the simulation in the GUI, the main rendered content pauses, but visualization markers keep moving (and the simulation keeps running, as seen in the terminal).

Steps to reproduce

Please try to provide a minimal example to reproduce the bug. Error messages and stack traces are also helpful.

To reproduce, run any isaac lab task in a --viz kit setting, then try to pause it in the gui.
e.g.
./isaaclab.sh -p scripts/reinforcement_learning/rsl_rl/train.py --task=Isaac-Velocity-Rough-Anymal-C-v0 --viz kit
