Hi @op2786 , can you provide the database for us to repro it easier?

Also, I believe the underlying issue is that we did not calculate the function xref of the field correctly. Does it update properly if you re-analyze the function?

If not could you provide just the bytes of the disassembly?

I've sent the binary to @xusheng6 in slack. Sorry for late response.

It does update properly when I re-analze the function.
