ViewCaptureToFile (or to clipboard) in raytraced spits out just a black object. Switch display mode back to rendered and run same command the result is as expected

What Rhino version?

At least capturing to clipboard work for me in my Rhino 6 and Rhino WIP on the mac.

From my Rhino 6 ( `Rhino 6 SR22 2020-1-28 (Public Build, 6.22.20028.13212, Git hash:master @ 379871ece695dc096e83826f08b429db8ca2e7f5)` )
