Red dwarf exclusion zone line disappears as you approach - anyone else experience this?

I started noticing this after the last update, only at red dwarfs. I've never had trouble with the exclusion zone lines before.
I'll approach the edge of the star, with the curved exclusion zone line displaying perfectly normal, but as soon as I get closer, it disappears. Orbit lines are enabled and I'm travelling at 0.1-0.2c. If I move away from the star and then come back, the same thing happens, the exclusion zone shows up for a few seconds and then vanishes. Makes fuel scooping at such stars a risky affair.
Anyone else experience this?

The dwarf is saying to you "Remove thy shoes from thy fuel scoop, for the corona you scoop from is a holy corona."

I've seen that line disappear depending on your speed, so it's not just you.

I know the lines disappear if you move slowly but the only time I move slowly at a star is if I am just entering cruise.

I have seen exclusion zones appear and disappear around stars for ages certainly from long before this years updates, to be honest I have never tied it to a specific star type and it has never caused much alarm when scooping thanks to all the other feedback.
White Dwarfs, Neutrons, some T-Tauri would be more of a concern as the photo sphere is so far from the exclusion zone.

Sometimes it becomes visible with just a tweak of the helm others it just pops into view sometimes I think it was just obscured by the starlight.

That's a long standing bug, and it's not exclusive to red dwarfs. It's impossible to reliably reproduce, so it's impossible to reliably fix.

My first experience was with a white dwarf, which resulted in a rebuy. I thought that was my mistake. The second was an M, I barely survived. That's when I realized it wasn't me. I've become much less reliant on those lines since then.

Not just red dwarves I get it happen at white dwarves quite frequently. That is not funny.

That is the reason why I just stop when jumping into a WD system and point away at a 90-180 degree angle(or just parallel) to the dwarf. Don’t want to get caught out by their exclusion zone anywhere even if I’m not in the cone. (And I never use them in deep space, only on rare occasions within the Bubble.)

I've also encountered this bug, and like others have mentioned it doesn't seem to be associated with any particular star type. It's resulted in a few unplanned stellar encounters, but thankfully no rebuys as of yet.
