Design Timeline not separating features from two Components of same colour

This screenshot section contains two independent Components that are both on the root of the Design Timeline and are completely independent of one another;

 

 

Here is where one Component ends, and the other starts:

 

 

Yet F360 is showing them both as the same Component on the Design Timeline because there is no separation line between the two timeline features which makes pinpointing Components a bit tedious sometimes.

 

I have asked for a feature request before but this now officially a bug a well;

 

Please add the ability for Users to REROLL COLOURS for Component objects that they'd like to change the colour for (either user selectable or random generation); but no response from Autodesk as of yet.

If you right click a component in the browser there's an option to cycle it's colour.

@HughesTooling is correct - you can change the color for a component using this command.  You cannot, though, choose the color, Fusion will just pick another random color.  Also, to see this command, you will have to temporarily turn on Component Color Cycling.
