(playtest 20150830)
I captured the enemy's building but later sold it. It remained visible/frozen under the fog of war.
This visual glitch was only present during the game and it is not seen in the replay.

Who was it visible to? The enemy who no longer owned it?
Or could you see it (incorrectly) belonging to the other player under fog?

The badly damaged building stood in enemy's territory and it was the only thing giving me vision there. When I sold it (the selling animation was fine, but I got no units out of it) the place got covered by fog of war and an image of the building appeared (although it was no longer there since I sold it). When I regained vision of the place moments later it was "erased" for good (from the fog of war view).
I can't remember if the image of the building was displayed in my color or the color of previous owner. As I mentioned the glitch is not present in the replay.

I tried to recreate this with a custom map from the editor, but the two times I tried I always got a civilian when selling the damaged structure so I still had vision...

I saw this happening in a replay in TD mod (playtest-20170902). Two engies capture an airstrip, it is immediately sold by the capturing player but then from his point of view the airstrip reappears under the fog. I'm not sure whether this was what he saw during the actual game but it's in the replay.

Attached are some screenshots from TD and RA demostrating the issue. The screenshots are from replays but in the case of RA - I saw it ingame.

First is TD (playtest-20170902): Two engies capture an airstrip, after selling there is nothing to provide vision but the building remains frozen under the fog.

Second example is with an oil derick in RA (release-20170527). It gets destroyed while I have no other vision there but remains frozen under the fog.
