Placed Objects Disappearing

I was working on my October city plan in Starlight last night where I was placing LOTS of neon letters from Project Blueprint. I noticed a few letters were missing at one point, so I began looking closer. I then found that when I would either bring up the console or the save menu while the letter array was in view, letters began "blinking out of existence" in rapid succession and in no particular order that I could determine. There were also some other non-letter objects that eventually disappeared.

Prior to building this array, I had starting using the layer system. I quickly realized I wasn't going to remember using it properly anyways (I kept forgetting about it), and I moved everything onto the default layer and deleted the numbered layers. My best guess is it's somehow connected to the ability to hide objects on layers with Workshop Plus, though.

I noticed this happening towards the end of the night, and, unfortunately, I didn't have much time to test. In fact, I probably won't have much time to get back in-game until tomorrow night.
 
This is a bug with WS+, will be patched today.

In the meantime, just set a hotkey and toggle the layer to hide and show it.
 
I updated to Workshop Plus 1.0.1 and Workshop Framework 1.0.3, but unfortunately the problem persists. And it only seems to happen when Workshop Plus is active. I will try to post a video tomorrow in case that can help.
 
If you toggle the layer do the items return? If there were already items hidden from this, they will not be restored with the updates. The changes are to try and prevent it from happening in the first place.

It's very likely that every settlement you visited with 1.0.0 of WS+ will need to have its default layer toggled off and then on in 1.0.1 in order to end the behavior.
 
Oh crud. Last night was date night so I only had a few brief minutes to try what I did. Forgot about the toggling. I'll be able to tonight.
 
Sweet - let me know if things start disappearing in settlements after you unhid them. If they do, then there's something still wrong.
