Can the CIMGeometricEffectBuffer be prevented from disconnecting from its 'parent' layer?

I need a line symbol with an outline so I have used a CIMLineSymbol with 2 layers of CIMSolidStroke, one of them with a CIMGeometricEffectBuffer.

Can the buffered element be made to stick to the 'parent' layer and not disconnect as it is shown on this GIF?

const createLineSymbol = (color, outlineColor) => ({ type: 'cim', data: { type: 'CIMSymbolReference', symbol: { type: 'CIMLineSymbol', symbolLayers: [ { type: 'CIMSolidStroke', enable: 'true', effects: [{ type: 'CIMGeometricEffectBuffer', size: 3, }], capStyle: 'Butt', joinStyle: 'Round', width: 1, color: outlineColor }, { type: 'CIMSolidStroke', enable: true, capStyle: 'Butt', joinStyle: 'Bevel', width: 6, color: color } ] } } });

@ViktorSafar - what version of the API are you using? And how are you drawing/moving the symbol in your map?

I just tried to repro with this same symbol and the Draw class and could not. It works as expected for me - https://codepen.io/annefitz/pen/qBgmNBV?editors=100 (use the button in the top right to start drawing the line)

If you could provide more info as to how this is happening, or even a reproducible example, that would be great. Thanks!

I am using 4.24.7

If I downgrade your solution to 4.24 I get the same issue. It's obviously been fixed so I'll just upgrade. Thanks!
