Effects and Layering

Good morning fellow Cartographers,
Here's an odd occurrence... With effects off symbols are layered correctly. When I turn effects on things go pear shaped. I haven't fiddled with any of the existing sheet ordering or settings. Before I start shuffling sheets around, I feel a post is warranted. Thanks in advance.

Can you post the FCW so we can have a look at that?
It seems to me that the buildings are on the incorrect sheet. Have you done a list? Or try putting the buildings on a different sheet, just to see if that is the problem?
This is the Delayed Drawn symbols that strikes. This features reapplies symbols after the effect pass to handle certain visual problems, but it only applies to non-building symbols (And with building symbols, I really mean symbols with built-in roof shading, like that tree also has)
Might be better to separate those into different sheets, but you can also fix it by disabling delayed drawn symbols, juts type DELAYDRAWSYM (enter) on the command line, and answer the prompt with 0 for disabled.
Note that this lasts the current CC3+ session, it is not a per-map setting.
I feel like this is (at least) the third time this month that DELAYDRAWSYM has popped up on the forums... I need to pay better attention.
Thanks everyone for your help!
