why are features highlighted when not selected?

red arrows: highlighted edges which apparently aren't being included
green arrows: highlighted edges which are being included.

I don't understand why some edges need highlighting if they aren't included in the feature selection. The extra yellow lines creates a large amount of visual clutter and in some cases, it will be so bad that my entire model is covered in yellow, I can't distinguish included parts from excluded parts, and so I have to either delete the feature entirely and recreate it all over again so that I can see what I'm doing, or I have to click on the little 'x' buttons in the selection list to delete every single selection, one-by-one, which is super slow because OnShape seems to be regenerating after every single click.

This situation seems to only occur when an upstream feature has been changed, causing changes to the model which effect the feature in question, and the selection can't be regenerated how it was before.

Also, there should be a 'delete all' button for selection list UI elements. Clicking the 'x' on every single selection has a pretty significant delay for me (maybe this is only on larger models?). Trying to empty out a selection list is pretty obnoxious. Also, during rapid clicking of 'x' buttons, the list will unexpectedly jump to a different scroll location.

    My favorite key- the space bar. I use it a lot.
