pointcloud magically disappears leaving a shadow

Hello all,

I am using ROS melodic with gazebo version 9.11.0. I have two issues currently:

I am trying to simulate a panda emika robotic arm in Gazebo with a Kinect sensor plugin attached to its end effector. The world has got a pitcher model. I am trying to analyze the pitcher's point cloud but at random instances, the pitcher magically disappears with the shadow. I did check the model states' feedback from /gazebo/model_states. I cannot attach pictures here. Please take a look at my gazebo forum's post for pictures [https://answers.gazebosim.org/question/24920/gazebo-models-pointcloud-magically-disappears-leaving-a-shadow/]

Has anyone experienced this issue or is it something totally related to gazebo?

Thanks in advance!

Please do not cross-post like this. Let's give the Gazebo Answers' ppl some time to answer your question.

If it turns out this is an issue in ROS, we can re-open here.

Oh sorry. As I was not really sure of whats causing the problem, I have posted it here to check if someone in ROS community ever had this issue before.
