Nest Decoration Foliage Highlight Bug
Description
Hi,
This bug occurs when removing placed decor on a nest, causing highlights on foliage not actively being looked at. This glow also "sticks" when leaving the nesting menu and walking away (but disappears if some distance is made).
I have three youtube videos(uploaded due to file size), with further explanations/timestamps as extra information. (I have also made my best effort to summarize/upload it here)
I also got an OBS plugin working to show my key inputs for better visibility for your team!
All on Official Panjura/Gondwa:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpek9ffY4E8 (Kent on Gondwa with the nestmaking process - showcasing the bug again at the end of the video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGsUm9niNSY (Struthi, triggering the bug ~20 times including full game restarts)
To still utilize the upload section as expected, I will edit down "highlights" for the Video Evidence section from the linked Youtube videos.

Outcomes
Observed Result
Multiple decorations become highlighted that are not being looked at, and looked-at decorations are not being highlighted. The menu can be exited and the "glow" effect stuck on the decoration stays for a good distance, even when walking away from the nest.
Expected Result
Only one decoration - the one the player is looking at - should be highlighted so the player understands which decoration they are removing if they select with RMB.
Steps to Reproduce
Join Official Panjura/Gondwa (Riparia was not tested due to no dino grown there yet) with an adult dino (under adult was not used in testing) (dinos I all tested with were Struthi, Kentro, and Pachy)
Place a nest to 50% condition, and place decorations around the nest (I used Leafy Bush types, Fern types, Red Ginger Plant, Mushrooms, and both Turtle Shell types. Fern had the most success for a "wrong highlight", potentially due to volume used compared to other decorations)
Click "Store Decorations." Note the lack of "Nest Complexity" indicator until a decoration is removed (this lack of text was consistent across all my attempts)
Remove a decoration (I had a higher chance of success if I held down LMB before hovering over the decoration I want to remove, released LMB, then clicked to remove.)
Wiggle the center of the camera around over as many decor as you can. The bugged highlighting should appear in the form of a highlight on some decor not being looked at within 10 seconds of wiggling. If no highlight appears, repeat step 4 (very rarely did it not reproduce and consistently appeared on the second deletion. I never had to do a third). Note that this bug was consistently achieved using exclusively LMB and camera movement.

I don't think it helps, but I also ran the Diagnostics Tool in the launcher in case you would also like to use that. 1981cfce4b9bc1b87634469384231431
