Recently I’ve had this problem with two folders where some of the files keep getting marked as Local Additions after rescans even though they haven’t been touched or modified on that device (or actually anywhere else).
This is what it looks in the GUI:
They do go away temporarily after using the Revert Local Changes button, however the next day they are back again, and it’s always the same files and folders. Many of them are quite old and haven’t actually been modified for years.
This is what the API says about one of the files.

- Differences between the two:
I can see that there is owner information in the first one which isn’t present in the second one. However, syncing ownership is disabled.
Both systems run Syncthing v1.23.7 under Windows 10.
Has anyone got any idea what can possibly be going on here?
