Ah, I bet you're running into the known bug about formatting actions in subprojects. The subproject is switching from parallel to sequential, but the contained actions aren't being re-styled.

To confirm, (1) switch a subproject from sequential to parallel; (2) select the first action in the project; (3) press 'd' then 'u' to swap the positions of the first two actions and swap them back. Step (3) should trigger to re-highlighting of the subprojects elements.

I hope this bug gets fixed soon. It also crops up when checking off an action in a subproject. Because of the bug I've gotten into the habit of only checking off actions from project view. That's frustrating, but is part of the cost of living inside alpha software.
