VRTK_InteractGrab Precognition Bug/Fix

See original GitHub issue

In VRTK_InteractGrab::Update() the grabPrecognitionTimer continuously grabs until the timer ends. If you grab and release before the timer ends however, it will not let go and the object will be stuck to your hand.

Proposed Solution: Disable the timer after we’ve successfully grabbed an object.

Change:

if (grabPrecognitionTimer > 0)
            {
                grabPrecognitionTimer--;
                if (GetGrabbableObject() != null)
                {
                    AttemptGrabObject();
                }
            }

To:

if (grabPrecognitionTimer > 0)
            {
                grabPrecognitionTimer--;
                if (GetGrabbableObject() != null)
                {
                    AttemptGrabObject();

                    if (GetGrabbedObject() != null)
                    {
                        grabPrecognitionTimer = 0;
                    }
                }
            }
