Description

Some robot icons are being cleared in the tree view when running tests and the blank square is then persisted at its latest spot. There is at most one blank square added per test run. It is unclear what triggers this behaviour, it does not always happen.

The position of the blank squares is fixed with respect to the tree view window. This means that if you scroll inside the tree view, the blank squares scroll along. If you expand/collapse a test suite, then the blank square stays at its spot and is no longer with the test case it originated at.
