All recordings still orange. I had put in a merge edit for most of the recordings that closed on Jun 14 & merged the release and that closed on Jun 19. There have been no open edits since the 19th, yet, they are still orange.
Another instance I’ve run across is the following release:
There are other tickets and threads on this oddity. It happens when you swap recordings around during an edit. I know I can put my hands on many examples.
Check the edit history and you will find where I swapped the two tracks that were linked to these two recordings. Track 5 was pointing at Recording 6, and Track 6 was point at Recording 5. Once swapped, this has stayed yellow ever since. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/79952144, 79952145, 79699474, 79699473, 79699472
Plenty of similar changes that shuffle tracks and recordings cause this issue. I have made whole albums go yellow before.
Yeah, those Fugees examples were caused by merges. That is a bootleg album which was added as all new recordings. I did lots of merging on that to other recordings, while also doing other edits, fixing text, changing artists and overlapping changes. Fixing something like that I can create quite a tangled web of edits.
It is why the Levellers is an easier example to focus on and reproduce. Just the five edits I think were key there.
No solution yet about this issue?
I found it happening again on a compilation in which I recently had to merge most of the recordings (Release “Le sigle d'oro dei cartoni animati” by Various Artists - MusicBrainz), but looks like all the examples above by previous editors are still showing highlighted recordings after years
