[AP 5.4.4 on Windows 11] Node Usage and Layout - Sub-components cannot be turned back on

(I tried to tag as a bug but the forum site said it wasn’t allowed)

If I have a top-level component with another component inside, I can see them in the “Node Usage and Layout” screen. However if I remove a Component from that screen it becomes impossible to get it back.

Starting off:

Unchecking the Component:

Immediately re-open the Node Usage and Layout editor:

Also gone from the Composite View Layout:

The only workaround I have found is altering the value in the settings.xml for the hidden node. Close the workflow, changing from true to false, save, and reload the workflow.

<entry key="hideInWizard" type="xboolean" value="false"/>

Is this a known bug?
