Highlighted Missing References do not go away even after being fixed

For whatever reason, with the latest updates highlighted missing references do not go away.

If something causes a sketch to loose either a reference feature or sketch plane, when you either use "review warnings" or "Manage Lost Projections" it highlights the issue in red outline like before. However, that highlight never goes away. Even after you correct the issue. It remains when you hide and unhide the component, and even when you change workspaces. Going to the render workspace keeps the red highlight even when rendering.

If you activate either "review warnings" or "Manage Lost Projections" on another broken feature the first red highlight will clear and the new one will highlight, but then that second one never clears.

The only way I have figured out to clear the highlighting is to close and re-open the file.

Also having this issue. Get VERY annoyed as having to keep saving and closing files to clear it. Needs sorting ASAP as it never used to do it. I've also noticed I've updated Fusion several times and it's still there

This problem is still present.

having the same problem.
Seems to have to do with some UI refresh problems and the warning dialog.
they do disappear as soon as one reopens the warning dialog though.

this works if you immediately reopen the warning dialog. However, if you don't do this before fixing the lost projections there is no way to bring that dialog back, so the red highlighted item is impossible to remove without closing and reopening the design.

With how easily fusion loses projections this is a very annoying bug.

@chris.eganY2EK3 @kellervater

Can you share an example design where this is happening?

Cheers,

Karina

After fixing the lost projections or references, just ctrl+z until the timeline feature turns yellow again, then ctrl+y back again. That clears the red highlight without having to open the warning dialog or reopen the file.

This still happens in version 2603.1.15 x86_64

I can get it to happen in any new or old file. To make it happen, do something to break a projection. Right click on the sketch in the timeline, review warning. Then instead of hitting the close button, hit escape, which also closes the window. Now you have a red highlighted missing projection that doesn't go away. If you then open review warning again and use the close button, it will go away.

The other way you can get it to stick, open review warning, then while the window is still open, right click on the sketch, select manage lost projections. This closes the review warning window and jumps you into the dialog to fix the projection, but gets you a stuck red highlight, and as soon as you fix the projection there is no way to open the review warning window again, so the highlight just sticks around until you close the file, or do the silly undo redo trick.

Regardless of if this can be avoided, it shouldn't happen to begin with.
