Hi,

All polygons are made of triangles under the hood,

So, even when you see polygons made of 4,5,6, etc,.... sides, they are actually divided

Into triangles. So what's happening in your case is that, you have a 4 sided polygon,

This polygon is made of 2 triangles that were coplanar, and this is why you were not seeing this edge,

When you moved one of the vertices, and this vertex actually belongs to one of the two triangles,

This caused the two triangles to stop being coplanar, so what you're seeing here are the actual triangles.

Personally I cannot advise you on what to do based on the screenshot, because probably when seeing the

Whole picture, maybe you had a different/better approach to model your object without having the need to move

The vertex. Of course, I'm just guessing, in many cases, you need to move your vertices and other elements around.
