You have four instances(copies) of Heather in the model and you have the short edge setting set to 3mm so it is going to pick them up. As mentioned above, short edges is more of a warning of possible future issues, it doesn’t stop things being a solid.

You can turn off short edge detection and adjust its threshold by right clicking on the model while solid inspector is active.
