Issue: crop view makes explodes lines disappear

Hi all,

I'm making exploded views from an assembly, and I'm inserting them into some OnShapre drawings.
Usually it happens with no issues: when selecting the Explode/Position setting, I can see my assembly in my desired exploded step, and with the explode lines if I have made them visible.

But as soon as you crop the view, to only show a part of it, the explodes lines disappear (even if they are still in view in the cropped view obviously)
I've made a dummy part, dummy assembly and dummy drawing to showcase this, it's available here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b4e729c16e2d20dc197ecf46/w/c8551016ddbb69e2cb0d0ae7/e/e5f88b4fce1592f95ab0fa24

In the drawing I insert the same assembly, twice, in two views. In the right view I just activate a crop view and as you can see, the explode line disappear.
This is very problematic, as I'm using this foo a moderately complex assembly, I need to show a tiny part of it with some exploded lines to explain where a specific part goes, so I need to crop the view, but the exploded lines then disappears.

Can you guys fix it (or if it's possible, show how to bypass it?)

Thanks!
