Parenting stops working

I have parented some Geo nodes to a Null that rotates.

But often when I dive into a parented Geo node with "Hide Other Objects" active, make some adjustments and go back to Object level, all the parented Geo nodes no longer rotate with the Null.

I have to either hide and unhide all the child nodes, or use the "Reset Viewport" to make them stick to the parent again.

This happens a lot.

Smells like a bug, has anyone else noticed this ?

No, but sounds like a bug to me too. Please submit with steps to reproduce with your hip file. It's very likely hip file specific.

Hey thanks.

I'll see, but its hard to reproduce.

It happens after a working in the scene for a while, then things slowly seem to go haywire. All kinds of weird stuff happening, like when I select group components and enter, I'm suddenly a back at Geometry level. Hack even just selecting a SOP will do this sometimes.

Very frustrating, with all the crashes and bugs like this, it's like wrestling while trying to get a job done...

The only reason I can think of causing that is some desktop setup where you have certain panes and/or viewport states active that are at the OBJ level jumping you back.
