Weird Demo Board Bug

I like to use the demo boards and put in lots of variations for studying Go.
However, there were 2 instances on occasion when I opened the demo, some of the black and white stones were inverted on the screen.
This is a big issue, because a lot of time went into organizing the variations (with comments) and to delete the branches to create a new one will simply take too much time.
Is this able to be fixed? Please, it will really mean a lot. Thank you.

What happens when you refresh the page? Do the stone remain flipped?

Yes they remain flipped.

This happens to me as well. Also, some stones just disappear. For example, you relay josekis in a corner, but after a while, you see some positions with just a weird empty triangle shape on the 1st and 2nd line. It is because 90% of the stones that were played have disappeared from the board and from the variation tree, with a ghost-like variation line still staying in the variation tree.

Indeed

Here is an example of it of an double approach variation with snapshots. It also skips move 5 if you look at the bottom right.


Can you link to a particular demo board that is misbehaving?

I’ve seen something like this before, but not that the stones were disappearing or changing colours, just that a

I couldn’t necessarily easily reproduce it though.

As in this

It’s a private demo, but I will grant you access to it now and anyone else who wants to take a look.
If you go to the 7th column, 5th row is one example where it occurs.

I’ve been back to spending time on demo boards to see if it happens. I haven’t been able to reproduce it fully yet. Slight syptoms here though: A ghost branch where only tengen and the last stone I played are on the board.
