I’ve found something weird: A disabled plane shows a point in the viewport, when the component preview is on.
I’m not sure if the RhinoDotNetCrash is related? I’ve already sent a report to tech@mcneel.com and Giuseppe Massoni replied. Not sure how to tag him here?
Perhaps no connection at all but I’ve long thought it odd that a disabled cluster shows geometry when disabled (in R7) until Preview is turned off, which still works when the cluster is disabled:

I’m on the very same release candidate (8.7.24107.13001, 2024-04-16)
weirdly enough, when I open your GH file (the XY Plane component is disabled) the point preview is not there
as soo as I enable and disable it, the point appears, and the point is linked to the Preview of the component:
as if with component Enabled the preview would turns on/off both plane representation and plane origin point, while if the component is Disabled the component preview keeps working only the origin point
edit:
when the component is Enabled, the preview works as expected ._____.
ok wow… there’s another weird preview thing that just happened to me right now, I guess they are related
I’m still on Version 8 SR7 (8.7.24113.23001, 2024-04-22)
easy to reproduce:
open Rhino
launch GH
drag a single Point parameter on GH canvas
reference it in the Rhino viewport as Coordinates, with a random click anywhere
in GH, click on the Point so it’s previewed (green) and in Rhino it displays the gumball
close Grasshopper window
→ the gumball is still present on the Rhino canvas, and you can actually drag the point around and it will change GH reference accordingly, even if GH was closed
the problem is that the point’s gumball is still visible (and CLICKABLE) even if GH window is closed (and that is actually the reason why I noticed it: I closed GH window and the gumball on the point just didn’t disappear)
I think this is something that needs to be looked into @wim
