When I edit a component / group with ‘Hide Rest of Model’ Shadows are projected even though the objects are not visible.
I see something like this too. Shadow casting doesn’t seem to apply to all the elements up in the model hierarchy, and the shadows look like something that you once upon a time could see that required the “shadow strings fix” extension to repair.

Although, yes I agree this is a display bug, … by now long time SketchUp modelers should be in the habit of using a dedicated fast model “work” scene using a dedicated fast style with presentation styles (like shadows and edge profiles, etc.,) switched off. Presentation features and styles would or should only be on in presentation scenes.
I think this is a known bug with the new graphics engine.

Yes Dan, I have 4 scenes setup for various work scenarios all in my ‘fast’ modeling style - but sometimes you are in LO and you notice something that needs a quick clean up and you switch back to that exact view and want to make a quick change…
It’s a bug no matter if I am using the software exactly as you would prescribe me to or not. Not to mention often I am sharing a screen with a client and will want to tweak something in real time — so I just work wherever I’m at to get the change done and carry on with my walk through.
Objects that can’t be seen shouldn’t be casting shadows.
