Table cell border color glitch?

I am having issues with something that just started today 1/16, as in, this was NOT an issue yesterday.  The issue is that a certain cell border within a table within a dynamic block, see image:

As you can see, it is supposed to be black, like so, however as of today, when I insert this (or any similar) block into my drawing, I'm getting this:

When I fix it in BEDIT, it looks correct and acts correctly, until I close the drawing.  After saving and reopening the drawing it looks correct initially, until I change it's visibility, then it's broken again.  Even going back to the "fixed" visibility, it reverts back.  See video:

 

Some context:  The blocks are setup in a library that get brought into the drawings via tool palette (probably irrelevant).  When opening the original I find all the tables are messed up.  They were definitely not this way yesterday.  This is also not happening on just my machine, my coworkers are seeing the same on their own devices.

 

I have attempted a few fixes including updating windows, updating autocad24 to autocad25, inserting rows and copying all info from old rows to the new rows, copying all info to a brand new table; nothing's worked.  I don't want to remake the table from scratch, and even if I do, who's to say this glitch won't reappear in the future...

 

Does anyone have any idea how this is happening or how to patch it?

Can you share your DWG file?

Have you restarted your PC yet? If it worked yesterday, Autodesk is not going to have a "patch" today for anything sadly.

I did restart my PC with the windows update.

Here is a drawing with one of the many blocks.

I'm guessing if the issue persists on your end, the block is the problem, somehow, but if you don't see any issue then it might be some configuration on my end...

I have discovered a shortcut to checking for the glitch that doesn't involve saving and reopening the file.  I can use the copy/paste shortcuts to see which step causes the issue (see attached screen recording).  

 

it doesn't always glitch, but seems to most often when I merge cells below and on either side of a border.  I even reset all border colors to black and still replicated the issue (see image below).

After some more playing around, it seems I've found a pattern to the glitch. 

Setup: Table color set to any color (I chose red), cell borders all set to by layer (on a black colored layer).

Merged cells seem to affect other overlapping merged cells as shown below.

Is anyone else able to replicate this?
