Sometimes (now quite frequently) if I restart Autocad, or use the program for more than ~1 hour, simple objects (lines, arcs, etc.) start behaving like they have moved to a different layer. If I hover over them, their layer shows up as correct, but if I hide or freeze the layer they are on, they suddenly show up in a different layer (but to be clear, if I hover the mouse over them, their layer still shows up as the correct original layer). If I select all of the objects on a layer and go to properties, under layer it now shows "varies," whereas a few minutes before it showed everything on the correct layer (but if I hover over each object, they each individually show the correct layer still). If I then set everything on the layer to the correct layer (using the properties menu), the layer then behaves normally (hiding and freezing as it should), but only for ~1 hour, at which point random object start migrating to new layers again, and the problem starts over again. This problem also seems to come and go depending on which order I hide/display/freeze/thaw layers.
I feel like I am playing whack-a-mole with the layers. The inconsistency between the mouse-hovering "layer" and the properties menu "layer" seems bizarre. What is causing this, and how can I get it to stop?
Thanks in advance.
